t Dinner
Of cordial Interest to the small com-
pany present and decidedly one of thfe
most thoroughly enjoyable of the au-
tumr affairs was the dinner given on
Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock by
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Stevens. The oc-
casion was a pre-nuptlal compliment
and was antlcipative of the marriage
soon to occur in which Miss Helen
Pevurly and Mr. Scott Barnett will be
the contracting parties. This was a
handsome courtesy which expressed
the warm and loyal friendship the
host and hostess bear toward the hon-
orees of the hour and which in detail
was strikingly beautiful. The floral
adornment of the reception suite was
in charming taste chrysanthemums
and roses enhancing the attractive-
ness of the library and hall and else-
where about the rooms palms and
ferns were In charming evidence
The pretty attractive dining room
formed an ideal setting for the table
which upon this occasion was a per-
fect symphony In Gellcate tones of
pink with the necessary accompani-
ment of green. A cloth of white linen
most exquisitely hand embroidered
covered the table while at either end
two crystal candlesticks held pink-
shaded tapers the light from which
threw a soft delicate glow over the
pleasing surroundings nmad pink
ribbons caught at the four corners of
the table with pink rosebuds extended
to the chandelier above and from
this among graceful bows and loops
of ribbon hung a basket which was
filled with pink roses and delicate
fern sprays and which was held In
place Just above the heads of a bride
and groom perfoctly attired In wed-
ding array. They were In a standing
position and formed the centerpiece.
The place cards were quite suggestive
of the affair and were glided wedding
bells bowed with pink maline. The
table was charming in its plan of ar-
rangement and seemd to fairly radiate
youth and happiness and was artistic
to a degree.
The host and hostess are Ideal en-
tertainers and their friends always
deem it a pleasure to be asked to

through the handsome rooms. Pretty

one burning taper which affords a bet-
ter light for the players. The guests

Tokens of Esteem for Dr. and Mrs.
W. F. Proctor
This morning a nvmber of friends
and admirers of Dr. W. P. Proctor met
In the parlors of the Citizens' National
Bank and presented him with a gold-
headed umbrella and his wife with a
silver sorvleo as tokens of esteem and
appreciation for the excellent set vice
be has rendered the city of Tyler as
state agent of the farmers' co-operative
demonstration work for the Unit-
ed States department of agriculture
and also as an evidence of the love
and friendship they have for himself
and family.
Col. J. B. Mayfield In a few well
chosen remarks presented the gifts to
Dr. Proctor.
Dr. Proctor was visibly affected and
spoke with some emotion. He stated
that he hardly knew how to express
himself. "These splendid testimonials
of regard are aprpeciated beyond
measure by myself and family" said
he. "We shall ever cherish them as
coming from our true friends whom
we love dearly. I don't feel that I have
done very much. I sought to do my
duty and have fallen rhort of that
at times. I came here almost an en-
tire stranger to the people and the
section. You received me and mine
with open arms and good will. The
longer we stay here the more we love
you and the more I appreciate this
marvelous country."
It was a very happy occasion and
will not soon be forgotten by those
present.
Pr. Proctor and family will leave
for Bryan early next week carying
with them the hearty good wishes of
our entire citizenship. Tyler Courier-
