Enjoy Silver Tea
One of the loveliest affairs of
the season was the third annual sil-
ver tea sponsored by tile womens
missionary society on Monday, Feb,
19 in the cafeteria of the school. A
red, white and blue color scheme
was used throughout the room. The
state and national flags formed a
background for the beautiful tea
table which was laid in lace over
red and centered with a low crystal
bowl filled with red roses mixed
with blue and white cornflowers.
Tall, red tapers burned in low
matching holders and flanked the
centerpiece. At one end of the ta-
ble was a beautiful antique silver
tea service presided over by Mrs.
J. R. Carlisle, dressed in a colonial
costume. At the other end, Mrs. W.
A. Barber, also dressed in colonial
costume, poured from a lovely an-
tique silver coffee service.
Mrs. J. D. Betts, charmingly
dressed in a pale green colonial
dress, greeted the guests and pre-
sided over the registering table
which was laid in Normandy lace
and centered with red roses in sil-
ver vase.
Mrs. A. J. Heskett had charge of
the program of music which was
directed by Mrs. M. L. Yandell.
Those assisting in courtesies of
the afternoon were Mrs. Powell,
Mrs. Gill, Mrs. Phillip May and Mrs
Russell.
Many guests registered between
the hours of three and five. We
wish to express our appreciation
for the liberal offering.

Gone from us, our dear mother;
It's five long months, Saturday,

But God above knows how we

Less Trapping
Trapping of fur-bearing animals
in Texas hit a new low for recent
years during the season just closed.
The season was not satisfactory,
according to reports to the execu-
tive secretary of the State Game
Department, despite the fact the
number of fur-bearing animals ap-
parently increased appreciably.
However, prices on practically all
kinds of pelts were low and little |
trapping was done during the open J
season. Not more than half the
normal number of trappers were
in the field, reports from game
managers and fur buyers indicate.
