Society
Mrs. Gray Entertains.
Aiming the numerous functions
which are enlivening Sherman society
contingent this week, was a one o’clock
luncheon which Mrs. I>. B. Gray gave
as a testimonial to Miss I»uise Taylor
of San Antonio, guest of Mrs. Allen
Blrge. Invitations were extended to
sixty, and apiiarentiy no "regrets"
reached the hostess.
The capacious dining rooms of tlie
Golf (Tuli furnished handsome setting
for tlie affair, and the mantels and
other (Kilnts of vantage were fairly
rioting in the glory of sweet iieas of
every conceivable tint, which were
tastefully disposed In decorations.
Bowls of tlie same flowers also grac-
ed the tables, and filled the rooms with
tiylr delicate fragrance. The hostess
was In happiest mood,, to which every
guest was genially responsive, and tlie
refreshing atmosphere of environment
seemed to instill itself into everybody's
spirit.
The array of charming toilets notic-
ed by an observer was also an inter-
esting spectacle to all who appreciate
sartorial beauty—and that means all
womanhood. •
The tallies were most inviting with
four courses of Irresistible cookery,
every dish a triumph in Itself. Quoting
a well known author, the four-piece or-
chestra “whetted apiietltes already
made sharp by anticipation.”
Later tlie guests disposed themselves
as caprice suggested, some dancing,
others indulging in merry quip and
jest, and the more dignified resolving
into groups to discuss the topics dear
to woman's heart. Mrs. Gray gave
her friends several very delightful
hours after which they reluctantly
turned honiewark.
ITipils of Mrs. Otis Fitch.
The numerous recent recitals in
which young children were the prin-
cipals. reveals that Sherman parents
realize the Importance of early train-
ing for children with musical genius.
Illustrating the isiliit Mrs. Otis Eitcli
made her Initial presentment of a
class at Maccnhee hail Thursday
night. None of tlie pupils had had
more than one year’s instruction but
showed remarkable response to thut.
They were nil quite young, and the
majority gave their numbers without
referring to (lie notes.
Mrs. Fitch's ability ns a teacher
was quite manifest in the ease with
which they rendered tlie selections,
and also the pleasing degree of tech-
nique they have thus early absorbed.
A large audience beard them, and
many Gowers were brought by Inter-
ested friends, hut Mrs. fitch, in this
her very first recital, has established
tlie usage to delivpr flowers privately
to those for whom they are Intended.
By an oversight, the third number
on the program was misprinted, and
should have lieen credited to Doris
Hefner.

“1 sure had a hard fight for over a
year with indigestion and stomach
trouble, but since taking Tanlac 1 am
glad to say my troubles are over and I
have gained ten pounds," said Mrs. W.
R. Woods, of 818 Luke street, Meridian
Miss.
"My miserable condition had al-
most turned me into a nervous wreck.
I bail terrible pains all through my
chest and a pressure around my heart
from gas that arose in my stomach
which nearly clinked me. I couldn't
cat a thing that wouldn't sour in my
stomach, and had sharp pains, alt
thrnngh my hack iwid shies fbat would
nearly drive me distracted,' and ,We
only way I could get rid of the pains
was by blistering myself. All the
money I spent for medicine was just
thrown away till I got hold of Tanlac.
"My friends urged me to try Tanlac
and it just made me a new person. Tlie
pains are entirely gone from my
chest and buck and sides and I never
have a sign of indigestion. The gas
lias stopped forming in my stomach, my
complexion lias cleared up, I can eat
anything I want Without any trouble,
I sleep well at ulglit and feel well all
the time.”

Little Miss Surratt Entertains.
When little Miss Annie Laurie
Surratt celebrated her birthday at tlie
home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs.
John E. Surratt. Thursday afternoon,
she lighted six cimdleH on the big
cake, and says she's’goiiig tog buy an-
other one today in anticipation of
next year! Twenty little companions
hud lieen invited to" help her observe
lier anniversary, and they made a
fascinating picture ns they gaily
frolicked over the green lawn, hilari-
ous with tin* joy of childish inno-
cenre. Ixits of merry pranks and games
engaged them for a time, after which
they executed, drills Rnd esthetic fig-
ures taught them at school. Children
love to have their pictures taken, and
Mrs. Surratt i»erpetuated the party
with the kodak. She secured “snaps”
of a wand drill. May-day drill, and
duplex Red Cross formations, the lit-
tle maids all charming in dainty white
frisks.
As tlie evening shadows fell, tlie
birthday cake was cut in liberal
wedges and enjoyed with pretty pink
ice cream.
Wlm wouldn't love to lie a little
lassie with a birthday party?
Slumber Party.
In contemplation of her approach-
ing marriage and removal from Sher-
man. Miss Marie Morris had with her
last night tlie Tuesday Literary Club,
of which slie Is a loved member.
Slnmlier parties are n delight to ev-
ery girl's heart, lint tlie title is surely
a misnomer! Any way, Miss Morris's
guests exhausted every hour of tlie
moonlight and later darkness in (lie
revels peculiar to such occasions.
Shivery ghost stories vied with re-
citals of occult theories and exiieri-
ences, sentimental prophesies were
freely made ns to “who would he tile
next one." and a “truth” session was
a genuine revelation of tender
tilings. Every girl is pledged to strict
veracity, and the inquisitor Inis the
privilege of asking most personal
questions.
A midnight lunch of shrimp salad,
sandwiches, olives, potato chips and
pickles was enjoyed and at dawn a
brief nap prepared tlie guests to
greatly relish a fried chicken break
fact With all its delicious perquisites.
