FORTY-TWO CLUB.
On Wednesday afternoon of J
last week, three to six, Mrs. W.!
B. Ransome entertained the J
"Forty-Two Club" and the ladies!
visiting in Bastrop, and in doing
so won fresh laurels as a hos-
tes*.
When all the guests were as
sembled dainty score cards were
distributed by a yet daintier lit-
tle maiden, little Miss Susie,
and the popular game began.
Throughout the afternoon the
same little maiden was much in
evidence, serving at intervals,
salted almonds and fruit punch,
and at the conclusion of the
games, nut glace and fruit cake.
Several drew for the first
prize- Miss Young being the for-
tunate winner, was presented
with a beautiful little fan. The
"Booby," a pretty vase of deli-
cate ware, was awarded Miss
Kesselus.
Taken all in all, this little affair
was one of the most complete
and charming of the season, and
the "Forty-Two Club" and all ir
attendance, are certainly indebt-
ed to Mrs. Ransome for a most
delightful afternoon.
b. p.
—Mrs. Thos. MeCollough, of
Waco, entertained her married
friends, Thursday evening, Jan.
17th, at the home of her parents,
Capt. and Mrs. B. 1). Orgain.
The evening was one replete with
enjoyment, not the least pleasure
being that of again greeting Mrs.
MeCollough in her old home—a
home whose doors have ever
stood hospitably open to their
friends and where many of the
best institutions of old Bastrop
have found a birth place.
The ever popular game of
' Forty-Two" formed the diver-
sion for the evening, and never
were there more hotly contested
games than those waged after
Master Orgain MeCollough had
distributed the score cards, which
by ths way, were unique. Dr.
11. P. Luckett, Judge P. D. Page
and Mr. W. B. Ransome drew
for the gentleman's prize—the
last named being awarded a copy
of "Hiawatha." Mrs. James
Wilson and Mr?. W. B. Ransome
contested for the ladies' prize,
a copy of Millett's "Angelus,"
which the former won. To Mrs.
J. B. Price fell the distinction of
winning the Booby a mirror.
Dainty refreshments of cream,
strawberries and angel food were
served. b. p.
G A M E OF "FORTY-TWO.
The "Forty-Two Club" held
its regular meeting at the home
of Miss Beulah Craft.
The beautiful afternoon brought
out the Club en force, and when
tha honor guests were added to
these, a merry throng filled the
handsome parlors.
As the guests arrived they
were received by Miss Craft
and directed to Mrs. Robert Price
and Mrs. Howard Perkins, who
were serving a most refreshing
fruit punch from a laive crystal
bowl in the hallway.
The games were called prompt-
ly at three o'clock, and after the
distribution of lovely little score
cards, each of which bore a good
wish from Dame Fortune, much
good natured rivalry ensued.
Mrs. James Wilson and Mrs.
T. P. Hayniedrew for the brace-
let, which the former won. At
the conclusion of the games,
lovely refreshments, nut-bars,
hearing the magic number "42"
and strawberry cream, were
served.
As the guests said good-bye to
Miss Craft, all f«'it that one of
the most pleasant of many de-
lightful afternoons had swiftly
slipped away into ; he past.

Twenty, Family and
Friends, Present-
On Saturday nivht last, Janu-

in connubial bonds, and on this
celebration, with family and goo<
friends, enjoyed the twenty-fifth
anniversary with a delicious ban-
quet supper, the frequent stopper
poppingand the hearty emptying
of bottles of rich sparkling cham
paigne, specially imported for t ie
purpose, made this occasion the
happiest of the many happy wed
ding anniversaries, of this lovinn
couple, even more happy than on
•veninig of marriage in youth.
Immigrating from Germany to
America in year 1880, they first
located in Chicago, remaining in
that city two years until 1888,
-when they moved.Ao Brenham,
leaving that city in 1894 for Bit*--

SCOTCH MUSIC.
By The Famous Kilties Band.
I he musician to render and in-
terpret Scotch rn isic must be in
touch with its history, legend
and story, for all the songs of
Auld Scotia have their legend or
story. Take the beautiful Loch
Lomond - "O ye'll tak' the high
road an' I'll tak' the low road
an' I'll be in Scotland a fore y:,"
is the advice to his sweetheart
>t a Jacobite who was convicted
at Carlisle. By the "low road"
he meant the grave, by the
"high road" was meant that by
which the girl would return to
her home. Death would relieve
his spirit so that it would be in
Scotland before she crossed the
border.
Annie Laura was the daughter
of a rich farmer; she loved a
foreman named Wallace for
which he was discharged. He
went to his home in Maxwellton
and was taken very ill; Annie
went to him and waited on him
until his death. It is believed
that the song was composed cn
his death bed:
"Maxwellton Hraei nre Bonnie
Where early fa's thed<<w
An' its there that Annie Laurie
Oio'd me her pomiue true
An' ne'er fora-ot t'will be
An' for bonnie Annie Laurie,
I'd lay me doun an' den."
The Kilties understand how to
vender and brinpr out the beauti-
ful melody and pathos of the
Scotch music and it will be a
treat that should not be missed
when they app .~ -vat Bastrop
