A La Mexican Mode
Miss
Bertha Hutchins entertained cleverly a number of her friends at the of her
mother on Williams street Saturday afternoon.
The event
was planned and executed after the fashion predominent (sic) in Mexico.
The scheme
was unique and attractive throughout. The house was very exquisitely
decorated in Mexican colors. Little Misses Alice Gillespie Spivey and
Thelma Cluck, costumed as Mexican maids, assisted Mrs. W. M. Gunnell in serving
dainty refreshments after the style in the land of the Montezumas. Chile,
Mexican beans, tortilles, (sic) chocolate, wafers and pickles, bananas and
Mexican candy were passed by the venders.
The cards
were color featured with birds and the scores were kept with colored beads and
miniature Mexican jugs. The games were progressive 42. The first
prize was awarded to Miss Somervell, who was presented with an armadillo basket.
Miss Harris captured the consolation, a Mexican jug, and the guests' prize, a
lovely Mexican vase, was awarded to Mrs. Fullenwider.
Guests
were Misses Bartlett, Battle, Finks, Somerville, Frank, Miller, Chilton,
Clarkson, Foster, Sanders, Harris, Torbett, Rice, Heffner, Harlan, Dilworth,
Haines, and Mesdames London, Fullenwider, LiIlly Frank Levi, E. C. Smith,
Connally, and Billingsley.
