Farewell Party to Miss Battle.
-----
Prior to Miss Pauline
Battle's departure on Monday evening for Kidd Key college, the Misses Curtis
complimented her with "Farewell Evening." Benches and chairs were arranged
on the lawns and a number of Chinese lanterns hung from the porches and
spreading boughs added very much to the pretty scene making altogether one of
the most attractive garden parties of the season.
Delicious punch was served throughout the
evening by Miss Clara Curtis assisted by Misses Una Curry and Andrew and Ritchie
Peyton and the plans of entertainment proved most interesting, each expressive
of the farewell idea.
In the telegram contest, Miss Battle was
winner of the first prize, a book, and Geo. Robinson, the booby, a grip of
candy. In the word making contest of "farewell," Albert Nettles scored
first prize, a box of stationery and Annie Louise Hunter a booby like the first.
Towards the close of the evening a
delicious course of pressed chicken with accessories was served.
As a more general expression of good will,
many of the guests presented Miss Battle with the prettiest of "P.G's."
