Woman’s Council Plans
For Christmas Tree.
An interesting meeting of the
Woman’s Council of the Presbyterian
Church was held Thursday at the
home of Mrs. Horace Morelock. The
Christmas story as told in Luke II
was read in the devotional service
conducted by Mrs. Morelock. In ad-
dition to the regular business, plans
were made for the Christmas tree.
Also, it was decided to receive contri-
butions of groceries and clothing, to
be distributed under the direction of
Mrs. Roy Lassiter, to needy Mexicans.
Those present enjoyed the delicious
salad course served by the hostess.
These ladies were present: Mesdames
Jenkin, David Murphy of Eagle Pass,
McMurry, Lassiter, Boudreaux, Chas.
Burnam, Engle, Forchheimer, Walter
Garnett, Murray, Morelock, O’Con-
nor. Thrift, Jones, McGinnis, Wilson,

the party motif, a potato with its
lainty vine.
A very delicious turkey dinner was
served in three courses, after which
the tables cut for the vining center-
pieces. Those cutting high were
Mesdames Jones, Coffey, Edgar Mar-
tin, and Jack Cross. After luncheon,
a short time was spent inspecting the
cactus beds and other interesting
features of the place, and then the
club assembled for bridge. The amus-
ing motif was again prominent on
the bridge tables, and score card and
tallies were cut sweet potato shape
from paper the color of a yellow yam.
Cutting again, at the close of several
games, Mrs. Scales for high cut was
awarded a luxuriantly vining potato,
and Mrs. Watson cutting low, receiv-
ed one with a future. Tea was served
after the game, on large wicker ta-
ble trays. Those enjoying this de-
lightful occasion were, guests, Mes-
dames Arnold of Marathon, Slight,
Jack Cross, Edgar Martin, Miss Pau-
line Terry; members, Mesdames Cof-
fey, Decie, F. E. Gillett, Wells McIn-
tyre. Scales, Terry, Wilson, Watson,

some of the most beautiful country
around Alpine. The site for the
house, which is ruggedly built of na-
tive stone, was selected with an eye
for the artistic grouping of the na-
tive oak trees. A low rock fence adds
much to the charming effect. A new
acquisition which excited much in-
terested comment was the collection
of cacti. On either side of the front
porch, extending the length of the
house are wonderful cactus beds con-
taining dozens of varieties of cactus,
and other native growth. Thus this
clever hostess has solved the problem
of having a beautiful and interesting
Domino Party Honoring
Little Miss Ransom.
Joyce Phelps entertained with a
domino party on Wednesday after-
noon, honoring her friend Lela Kath-
erine Ransom soon to leave Alpine.
Sandwiches, cake and cocoa were
served and plate favors were candy
candlesticks in candy holders. Those
present were Marguerite Scudday,
Mary B. Scudday, Merle Bennett,
Catherine Slight, Ida Bell Thomas,
Mary Beth Boyd, Frances Cotter, Ju-
lia Gentry and the honoree, Lela
Katherine Ransom.
Alpine kids received a great kick
Monday when they were permitted to
visit with old Santa Claus, himself,
at Robinson & Company’s store, the
old gentleman entertaining the
youngsters from 4 to 6 on Monday
afternoon. The kids also enjoyed the
apples which were given them by
old Santa.
yard without the constant irrigating
necessary with any other sort of
growth.
This luncheon might have been
called a Potato Party since the hum-
ble sweet potato was the decorative
motif. A month or six weeks ago
sweet potatoes were placed in con-
tainers with water and these grew
dainty vines. Placed in artistic bowls
and vases, they made attractive deco-
rations.
The guests arrived about one
o’clock, and were shortly ushered in-
to the dining room where they were
served at three beautifully laid ta-
bles. The place cards were little
sweet potatoes tied with green rib-
bons, with the names printed on the
potato. In a cleverly made contain- 1
er, in the center of each table, was

Social Meeting.
The monthly social meeting of the
T. E. L. Class of the Baptist Sunday
school was held Friday, December 9,
at the home of Mrs. Homer Moorman,
with Mrs. Wells McIntyre and Mrs.
E. J. Wood as hostesses. The guests,
enjoyed music by Mary Verne and
Bess Lee Moorman and Thelma Wood.
An interesting contest, "What a
Man Wears," was conducted, Mrs.
Buren Sparks winning the large
striped stick of candy. Each one
then reported what her "sister" had
done for her the past month and new
names were drawn for December.
Refreshments of date pudding,
candy and tea were served to Mes-
dames Joe Walker, J. D. McCutcheon,
