A Unique Entertainment
Miss Lula McMichael elegantly entertained the Bachelor Girls’ Club on the beautiful lawn at the home of Mr. J.E. Lowe Wednesday afternoon. Miss Lula arranged a very unique entertainment which was decidedly new and original. She had printed the names of the guests with letters so intermingled that it was puzzling to unravel. Each name began with a Latin word by selecting letters composing the name thus, “Voce pear reo” had all the letters of Vera Cooper. A prize was offered for the first solution of the puzzle. Four home young ladies tied in winning the prize, and they divided the honors by voting it to Miss Susie Harvey and Miss Eva May Averett of Columbus. Refreshments were served.

Mistletoe hung from the chandeliers and vases and bowls of red roses decorated the mantels and cabinets.
An elegant buffet supper was served at 11 o’clock, the guests served in groups at tables set on the first floor.

Miss Gatins was most attractive and fascinating in a ball gown of pink lisse and lace, and carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley.
Mrs. Gay, who assisted her daughter in the entertainment of the guests, wore pale gray panne satin and lace.
