Mrs. H. W. French entertaineda few
of the most intimate friends of Miss
Daisy Beall at her home, on Fourth
street, from 4 till 6 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The parlors looked very
pretty in their decoration of yellow, with
large bouquets of rock lilies placed where
thev looked the most artistic. Conver

they were seated around the table and,
if possible, more busily engaged doing
justice to the exceptionally tempting
lunch there spread.
