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.
