Mrs. Clemence is such a charming hostess that ail members of the League and their Iriends, who could possibly attend the meeting were Present, knowing that they would miss a rare treat it they were absent. Mrs. Hilda usual charming several Peterman, manuer, rendered instrumental selections, While the crowd was assembling, and atter all had arrived, she and her mother, Mrs. Yebb, aelighted every- in her one with a very beautitul Piano duet, The second feature of the program was a violin solo by Kenneth War- ren, accompanied by Mrs, Peterman at the piano It is always a pleas- ure to the friends ot this young man to have the privilege of hearing him perform on this instrument. Next was a pautomime "Dy Miss Ve of “Abide with Me,” as sung by Mrs. Hull. There is no better way to describe the impression Miss McRae created by her wonderful interpre- tation of this song than by the com- meut of one of the gentlemen pres- ent, that she looked like an angel. It has been some time since Mrs, Hull has favored us with her sing- ing, and her . \ceptionally fine voice was heard to good advantage in this autiful song. We had thought that surely there could be nothing else that could be quite so good as the preceding num- bers, but when we looked upon the adows and mists will be | McRae to the beautiful words | Kentucky avenue. The reception rooms, which were prettily decorat- 4'.(| With nasturtiums, pansies and lilies, were thrown open to the lit- tle guests who spent the evening in vpluyinz mauny games, both in the iyhuuse and out on the lawn.

The invitation reads as follows: “Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Warren Cole request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, . Mary Cornelia, to Mr. Thomas Ever- ett Burdette, Wednesday evening, Rpril the twenty-eighth, nineteen hundred and fifteen, at seven-thirty o'clock, Fort Meade, Florida.” 3 Cole, or “Miss Corrie”” as she mili known by her host of staunch friends, is one of the ecity’s most popular and best loved young ladies and the only regret her mar- riage will bring will be the fact that she will be taken away to another city. is fi Mr. Burdette is quite popular with a large circle of friends. He has won a place in the business circles of Bartow, and is liked wherever he is known. He possesses fine traits of manhood and is to be congratulated on winning one of Fort Meade's lovely eirls. } The wedding ceremony will be performed at the residence of the bride-elect's sister, Mrs. William (Cliatt.—Fort Meade Leader. Both young people have many friends here whq will wish for them much happiness in their new life.

Mrs. Lovell, who has staged all other plays for L. H. 8., is training the pupils for this play, and all know what it means when she does the training. It is a guarantee that the play will be A1, 5 N All the other plays depended on situations, laughters, exits, and en- trances, but this play is the most difficult and up-to-date the L. H. S. has ever produced. It is full of fine shades of expres- . An- sion and meaning.

Leonard Groom as a countryman and a prospective groom will capture you at once and the Irish maid's view of matrimony, al- though funny, is, it is to be feared, the same that many now hold— “Love is the cheapest thing in the wor-ruld,” she says. Come, laugh and enjoy this fine play. Male quartettes between acts by Messrs. Yoder, Barnes, Washburn and Williamson . Tickets on sale at Red Cross, ? cents to school children; 50 cents adults.

At this point there was a decided change in the program in the ap- pearance of the “Village Gossip” with her parrot. Miss Annie Streat- er represented this interesting, and, sad to say, well known character (presumably of half a century ago, judging from her costume). As our hostess remarked, Miss Streater was chosen not from her suitableness for the part, but because of her willing- ness; which part, however, she took off to perfection. Harry Williams was then present- ed as "Old Black Joe,” and, while listening to him as he san: that plaintive old melody, one could hard- ly realize that he was not one of those good old colored men of ““Befo’ de war” bewailing lost estate. This concluded the program the guests were ames times, his for the evening, and then left to plan their own until delicious refreshments of cream and cake were served.
