Covers for ten were laid, one table being placed in the dining room, the other in the living room porch. The color scheme was the appropriate red and green of Christmastide, the placards being a jolly Santa Claus with his suggestive pack. Each guest found at her place a tiny mysterious package bearing the characteristic clause, “Not to be opened until Christmas.” Those enjoying Mrs. Carter’s hospitality besides the honoree were: Mesdames A. R. Carter, Wickham, F. H. Jones, J. M. Corbett, P. G. Huston, E. J. Kilbride, J. W. Gaines, E. L. Perry and W. S. Holman.

An Orchard In A Backyard

One of the best demonstrations of what can be done here in the way of fruit can be found in the backyard of Mrs. A. R. Carter’s home where a veritable orchard exists.

In this backyard orchard have been produced this season some very fine peaches, grapes and figs. The peach crop is especially fine and the fruit equal to any grown in so-called peach belts or elsewhere.

Mrs. Carter has given this fruit no extraordinary attention, but it is first class.

Nearby, in the Jules Ducros backyard is another example of what fruit can be made to do in this section. An abundance of choice figs and peaches are being produced there. Like Mrs. Carter, Mr. Ducros has not given his trees and special attention.
