W, Bradley and Mrs. Joe Henderson. In the receiv- ing line were Mrs. Knight, Miss Knight and Miss Frances Bond. Mrs. Knight was handsomely gowned {in a basque dress of black satin, Iwith black maline overskirt over {vellow satin. Miss Knight wore one }ol' the new style basque frocks, with ithe bodice of black velvet and the Skirt of white net over white satin. Miss Bond wore a charming dress of ,,\'vllo“' crepe meteor with pear] trim- mings. Mrs. Henderson's dress was of pink, the basque being of satin and the skirt of brocade satin. Mrs. Bradley wore a gown of all white, with trimmings of Chantilly lace. | "In the library punch was served by Mrs. A. R. Bond, assisted by Miss Mary Louise Knight and Mrs. Elsie Knight. “At the dining room door were Mrs. Edgar Wall and Mrs. C. L. Knight and serving the refreshments were Misses Harriette Larner, Bar- bara Parkhill and Ruth Nelson. Al- though the decorations of the din- ing room betokened a nuptial event, it was not until the guests received their refreshments that the secret of the afternoon was told. Each plate bore a heart-shaped cake sur- mounted with a cupid and the ice lcream was in the mold of turtle doves. Besides this there was a card decorated with a cupid and an en- gagement ring and bearing the names of Frances Louise Bond and James Augustus McKay, and the date, Oct. 22, 1914, “The prevailing note of the dec- orations was yellow, making a per- fect harmony with the tint of the interior of the charming little bun- tgalow. Goldenrod was used in quan- tities and was the only flower with the exception of the large chrysan- themums, which were carried by those in the receiving line. Over the |serving table in the dining room was itho chandelier, which was a mass of goldenrod and hanging in festoons from this were many little cupids, while the centerpiece was formed of ‘a statuette of the god of love, sur- irounded by a large band of gold, the "effect of the whole being softened "with sprays of asparagus fern. “The announcement of this en- gagement is one of particular inter- est, as both the bride and groom- elect are among the most popular members of the younger set, and their marriage, just a month hence, will be one of the most interesting events of the fall.

Garratt Writes Mr. Drane Of War Situation Friends of Mr. C. E. Garratt, one of the pionecr residents of Lakeland, will be much interested in the fol- lowing letter from him to Mr. H. J. Drane, which we have been gh‘en‘ the privilege of publishinz. When the first news came that England would be involved in war, Mr. Gar- ratt, like the loyal and gallant gen- tleman he is, promptly left for his native country, to place his life and services at her disposal. This mes- sage from him will be of interest to a large number of our readers: 16 Rawlinson Road, Oxford, Sept. 5tn, 1914, Dear Drane—Just a few lines to say that we are in London at the bresent time and well. Also you need have little fear that 1 shall fin- ally land in the army, unless the Germans absolutely rout our troops out of France or drive the Russians back, and even then they have our navy to reckon with Dbefcre they land their troops in this country and attempt to treat us as they did the plucky little BeMians. By which 1 mean that men of my age are not wanted on the continent. Kitchen- er's first army of one hundred thou- sand recruits included only unmar- ried men between 18 and 30. His second call allowed married men to enlist but not over 35, and regulars who have seen service, up to 45. Still there are jobs at home in tak- ing the place of those who have gone to the front--special constables, coast guard, etc. 1 had a job las. week which may make you smile— looking after Boy Scouts who dis- tributed leatlets and books on re- cruiting and the cRuse of the war, etc., at the Guild Hall. Thousands and.thousands lined the streets un- able to get in. I heard Asquith and Bonar Law gpeak; Balfour and Churchill also said a few words, It" seems possible that a battle may be fought this week that will dwarf all former contests as regards loss of life, the result of which will go far towards settling the length of the war. 1 am not over sanguine, though fully believe that we shall win out in the end. Our kind regards to Mrs. and your Yamily. Sincerely yours, C. EUSTACE GARRATT. e e ———— Then meet the Leaguers promptly at eight; Come prepared, from head to for fun; We've a jolly laugh for every one.

Conibeer, who recent- Iy returned from Illinois, in writing to flis old home paper, says: “Leaving Cincinnati at $ a. m. on the 21st, 1 had a delightful crossing the Cumberland anc Smokey ranges of mountains in daylight after the whole distance had been covered with refreshing rains which prevented dust. I arrived in Lake- land in a heavy shower that we run into about 10 miles up the track on the 22d. “1 found the family all well and full of sympathy for me for having suffered so much with heat while in Illinois, as they had very nice weath- jer all the time 1 had been gone; 92 was the HNottest. They had timely irains during my absence and all na- |ture looked fresh and beautiful. “Although Henry and my man had cut the grass and beggar weed in the grove and filled our barns with very fine hay, it now looks as if we will have to mow it again next der cared for and put away and most of the corn cribbed, so that we are in pretty good shape to be- gin our fall planting which we ex pect to do next week with Irish po- i tatoes, following with strawberries, itomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, ete., all lof which we expect to be ready for use by Christmas or before. “We are having some very fine rains that are wetting up the sub- soil which will insure the finishing up the citrus fruit crop and put the ground in fine shape for the winter vegetable crops. The winters are usually dry here and if the sub-soil is well saturated at this time it gives up its moisture about as the crops need it."” Col. Briggs left last night for Washington after a week's stay in the city on legal business. He spoke of the property he owned on Massa- ‘chusetts Ave., now that of Col. 8. T\ Fletcher, declaring that it was one of the many instances demonstrat- ing the growth Lakeland had made in the last few years. “When T loft Lakeland twenty years ago I soid that house for $400.
