June, the month of -roses and
is the ideal month of en-
and when members of
-the Quid Nunc Club received invita-
tion to a luncheon, at the lovely,
, ¿new colonial home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Hail, all gladly responded,
feeling sure of a day of rare pleas-
we.
Mrs. Hail and Mrs. Page have
given, on other occasions, proof of
ttie charm of their hospitality, but
•litis entertainment of the distin-
guished Quid Nunc surpassed any-
thing yet undertaken.
'The doors of this lovely, newly
finished home were thrown open
lar the first time, and the broad
"veranda, majestic in appearance,
Tiwth its concrete floor and steps,
«ras converted into a reception
vouch and gave the key-note to in-
Jterior decoration. •
It was here that Mrs. Hail and
Mrs. Page received their guests.
The pleasant interchange of greet-
ing was shortly interrupted by the
appearance of the/ lovely young
fadiee, Misses Etta, Kathleen and
lillie-Belle Hall, Bella lipscomb,
JPauline Durst and Susie Carleton,
each carrying a tray of different
flowers, and pinning one on their
favorite guest, requested all to find
ylaces at the table according to the
flower they were wearing.
As the doors were thrown open,
«bata lovely view met the eye, the
«atire lower floor being converted
. into a banquet hall; every room was
e xquisitely and appropriately deco-
i sated.
The Shasta daisy with its snowi-
i of petal and golden heart of
flower was everywhere in evi-
Delicate feathery plumosa
with bows and loops of
tulle, rich nasturtiums of
i brilliant hue—their vivid coloring
* always effective; sweet peas with
«heir light and dark shades of color
.and beauty.
"ÍJovere were placed|for thirty-two,
the visitors' table seating twelve,
and the lovely rose, the queen of
.all, was the flower of this table; the
¡smaller tables, with sweet" peas and
nasturtiums.
: Marie Antoinette baskets filled
., , with "Shasta daisies and ferns were
• in every available nook. 1
This indoor garden of flowers was
.almost a dream of beauty, and the
six course luncheon was of the best
served, after which

And now may that sunshine which you
so constantly bring to others.

Then turning to the guests, she
said:
"Hare's to our honored guests, who are
moat welcome to our feastl
This must appear in other ways than
words,
Therefore, I grant this breathing cour-
tesy."
For this afternoon, music will
while away the hours; when finish-
ed, we hope you will say, "I never
missed the time, it fled so pleasant-
ly away." And when the dqy is
done, let us, the members of the
Quid Nunc Club, who have each
month met with our friends around
the festive board, lift high the
flowing bowl and drink this toast:
"All honor to the guests of the
Quid Nunc club.
"May good digestion wait on ap-
petite and health on both!"
Mrs. Fisher Arledge offered a
beautiful toast, to which Mrs. Allen
Newton of Galveston responded
most gracefully.
In appreciation of the charming
young daughter of the house, the
following little gem of a toast was
offered by a loving friend.
"Here's to the maid whose heart
is ever laden
With all that is good and true.
Whose smile is a blessing, I don't
mind confessing.
Etta's the maid, sp here's to you!"
The closing toast was an original
one, in rhyme, rather reminiscent
of the brief life of the Quid Nuncs,
by Miss Annie Williams. >
A musicale was arranged for the
afternoon, and what a delight it
was to hear once more, Mrs. Willis
Higgihbotham, our own Ethel, whose
lovely voice gains new sweetness
and power, as the days go by. Mrs.
Denmab and Bella Lipscomb also
contributed pleasing numbers.
Who could ever forget this per-
fect day in June that brought so
many familiar faces together around
the festive board.
The meeting of old, loved friends
is always a heart's delight and oh
occasions like this, the pleasure
takes on a newer, keener edge—of
superior finish—like a brightness
added to the diamond's lustre—a
whiter purity to the lily-—a sweeter
to the rose—a tenderer
ice to a loving eye.
Mrs. C. N. Corry.

Saved Girl's Life
I want to tell you what wonderful benefit 1 have re-
ceived from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," writes
Mis. Sylvanla Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky,
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
In my home." For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi-
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
ailments, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
If you suffer from any of these Complaints, try Black-

CAN YOU "DOUBT IT?
When the Proof Can Be So Easily In-
vestigated.
When so many grateful citizens
of Crockett testify to benefit derived
from Doan's Kidney Pills can you
doubt the evidence? The proof is
not far away-^it is almost at your
door. Read what a resident of
Crockett says about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Can you demand more con-
vincing testimony?
Mrs. N. S. Box, Bruner's Addition,,
Crockett, Texas, says: "I had been
greatly annoyed by attacks of kid-
ney complaint. When I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills, I used them as
directed and they benefited me in
every way. I procured Doan's Kid-
ney Pills from Sweet's Drug Store."
The above statement must carry
conviction tt> the mind of every
reader. Don't simply ask for a kid-
ney remedy—ask distinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mrs. Box had—the remedy backed
