joyable parties of the season was
the birthday party given in honor
of Mrs. D. Thornton by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Robin Perkins, on Tues-
day afternoon, at the home of Mrs.
Ed. Palmer.
It was a complete surprise to
Mrs. Thornton, which proves that
secrets can be kept by women. Aft-
er the guests had all arrived, Mrs.
Palmer, in a very happy manner,
told Mrs. Thornton that it was her
party and that it had all been plan-
ned through love in her honor.
The handsome home, so complete
in its appointments and furnishings,
was made more beautiful by the dec-
orations of bright many-colorod
spring flowers,, A profusion of
ferns, hyacinth*, narcissus and sweet
peas were artistically arranged in
hanging baskets, bowls and vases
throughout the spacious living
room, dining room and music room.

HONORING MOTHER’S BIRTH-
DAY *
One of the most delightful af-
fairs of the season was on last Fri-*
day afternoon when Mrs. C. R. De-
vall entertained, honoring her moth-
er, Mrs. Milam, on her birthday.
Her guests of honor were her aunts,
Mrs. L. J. Robertson and Mrs. Hal-
He Proctor, and an old friend, Mrs.
John R. Buford of Sulphur Springs.
The guests were received by Mrs.
Frank Joyce and the hostess, who
presented them to the guests of hon-
or and ushered them into a softly
lighted room, where lla and wafers
were served by Mrs. G. W. Ruther-
ford and Mrs. G. P. Hill.
The music was furnished by fou.-
of our popular young girls, Misses
Fleming, Knox, Devail and Petty,
the first number being “Auld Lang
Sync.” Mrs. Frank Joyce, in a gra-
cious and unassuming manner, then
welcomed the guests and offered
many good wishes for her old friend
on her birthday. The quartet then
sang that beautiful old song, “When
You and 1 Were Young, Maggie,”
and Mrs. G. P. Hill gave two read-
ings, "The Little Brown Curl,” and
“Heart’s Ease,” both of them tell-
ing a story of by-gone days, and lit-
tle things lovingly remembered.
Miss Fleming then sang that old
favorite, “Believe Me if all Those
Endearing Young Charms.” A* the
music of this sweet song died away
the hostess ushered in the “Old
Black Mammy,” who we all lovingly
call “Aunt Mollie,” who came in
leaning on a crutch. The sight of
her in her old age' brought back
memories of the “Old South,” the
days of our early childhood, when
we could hear the darkies singing in
“the fields of snowy white," and
Mrs. Robertson, who is an old
Southern flower, arose and came
forward to take her hand, saying
she “had many, many loving memo-
ries of her ‘old black mammy,’ ” and
all she had meant to her in *’er
childhood and that she loved to meet
with any of the old-time darkies,
for as a race they will soon be van-
ished from the earth. Aunt MoUie
then paid her respects to the other
gueets of honor, and also to many
of her old "white folks,’’ who have
known her since her early woman-
hood, then went tripping out whence
she came, while the beautiful song,
“Carry , Me Back to Old Virginny,”
floated out from the throats of those
representing the New South.
The guests were then asked to
each give the first speech said at
school. Many responded, and when
all the fun of it was over, the
judges declared the first prize to
Mrs. Sue Smith. It was a beautiful
box of stationery, hand-painted in
violets by Mrs. G. P. HilL The sec-
ond prize, a lovely boquet of sweet
peas, went to Mrs. J. W. Stringer.
Misses Devail and Knox then
sang a duet. Mrs. Hill then gave a
toast to«Mrs. Milam, saying so many
good things and wishing her much
happiness on the "perfect day” she
was having for her birthday. Mrs.
Milam, although a semi-invalid,
arose and with much feeling re-
sponded. Mrs. Devail then 'toasted
her aunties and old friends compar-
ing them to lovely flowers in her
garden, one a taU, pure lily, one a
sturdy, upright hyacinth, and one a
fragrant violet. Mrs. Robertson re-
sponded. The hostess then , led the
way into the dining room, where,
on a beautifully decorated table, a
large snowy white cake on a bed of
violets held mnpy candles, all bright-
ly burning. Mrs. Milam laughingly
told us that the cake would not hold
all the candles that should have
been on it, but she didn’t care for
uA to know how old she was any-
way, but someone hinted it was sev-
enty-three. Mrs. Proctor then read)
the poem of the “Three Little Big
Words: I Love You,” to her, and
each guest then cut a piece of cake,
making a wish for her and blowing
a candle. Each guest was then giv-
en a plate of ice cream with c heart
of lavender in the center. The fa-
vors were violets and fern. Hoi
guest favors wera black narcissus
In the social time that followed
one of the younger guests declared
that “an old ladies' party was best
of all,” and when we said good-bye
Mrs. Milam said “It is not so bad to
grow old, after all.” That it had
been for her “the end of a perfect
day.”
No, it is not so bad to grow old
when one is surrounded with loving
friends and can receive the care
and devotion of children. It is not
so bad when one can “grow old
gracefully,” as these dear ladies
have done, ami still keep a cheerful,-
outlook on life, when one can meet
the storms of life and still retain
a serene and gentle spirit, and that
“hope which is an anchor to the
soul, both sure and steadfast, and
entereth into that within the veil.”
“The tallest lilies droop at eventide,
The sweetest roses fall from off
the stpm;
The rarest things on earth cannot
abide,
And we are passing, too, away
like them—
We're growing old!
Old? Well, the heavens ye old;
this earth is, too;
Old wine is best, maturest fruit
most sweet;
Much have we lost, more gained, al-
though ’tis true
We tread life’s way with most un-
certain feet—
We're growing old!
We move along and scatter as we
pace,
Soft graces, tender hopes on ev-
ery hand;
At last, with gray-streaked hair and
hollow face,
We step across the boundary of
that land
Where none are old!”
Mrs. J. W. Stringer, in Mt. Vernon

JUDGE DIAL SPENDS
NIGHT ON ROAD
Judge J. A. Dial has a right to be
in favor of good roads. He has lots
of busines over east Texas and
travels over all kinds of roads. Last
week he was stuck -in a mud hole
down below Pickton and came home
advocating a good road lieing built
down that way and said that he
would pay his part for the same,
leting the other fellow say what that
part should be. Friday he had legal
business in Tyler and on his return
trip home Friday night, he came to
Yantis then on home. He did all
right untill he reached the Hopkins
County line, where he began to
stick in a mud hole. He was success-
ful In always finding a neighbor
near by to pull him out. After
several experiences of that kind he
reached Sulphur Springs Saturday
Morning about 6:30 and is nowad-
vocating building s good road to
Yantis.
The Tapp hears bearing the body
of the late D. H. Morgan to Forest
Academy Saturday, stuck id a bad
mud hole, and it required the aaaist-
ance of the men in the funeral pro-
cession with a long rope to pull the
hearst out and get ready to go
again.
