MRS. DUNKUM'S CARD PARTY.
Mrs. J. A. Dunkum entertained at
cards Tuesday afternoon. Her guests consisted of a large number of special
friends. The occasion was in honor of Miss Garrett, sister of Mrs. Dunkum.
The palatial of this popular lady was the scene of
overflowing pleasure of the jolly assemblage a good time seemed to be the one
thought, and pent-up feeling was in evidence.
Time passed by far too swiftly, and the departing time
received no welcome, coming as it did, seemingly all too soon.
Progressive euchre was the game, and it was lively and
interesting from beginning to the close. The prizes, offered were rare and
appropriate. The first prize fell to Miss Peyton, a dainty drawn work center
piece. Miss Kessee, of Waco, in a cut, drew the consolation prize, a beautiful
picture. Mrs. Rimes won the "booby" a bottle of "Sunshine cuts."
As the guests arrived they were received by Mrs. Dunkum
and Miss Garrett and conducted to the punch bowl at the rear of the hall, the
contents of which were both delicious and refreshing.
Exquisite refreshments followed the other pleasures of
the afternoon and were heartily enjoyed by all partakers.
The following were present: Mrs. Bertrand, Harlem; Mrs.
Dick Jackson, Mexia; Miss Courts, Galveston; Miss Burt, Temple; Miss Lee, San
Angelo; Miss Keese, Waco; Miss Ross, Houston; Miss Willie Davis, Reagan; Miss
Threadgill, Waco; Miss Larimer, Fort Worth; Misses Chilton, Alice Goodrich,
