Mr. Hugh Moseley was In Raleigh
Monday on business.
Misses Lucille Harris and Bettie
' Moore were Joint hostesses Friday
evening at a tacky party from 7 to 11
at the home of Mr. Herman Pernell.
The-room was effectively decorated
in a profusion of wild flowers, leaves
and crepe paper. The guests were
invited in by Miss Annie Lou Pernell,
who was artistically dressed In her
grand mother's costume. After a bit
of fun and music the guests were seat
ed and a few games were played. In
the meantime fortunes were present,
ed from the Gypsies and read aloud,
causing much laughter and fun. Nest
everyone began to work on a word
contest which lasted fifteen minutes,
after gathering and examining the
papers the judges presented the prize,
a box of washing powders, to Messrs.
Maurice Strother and Jasper Collins.
While the couples were talking Bet
tie Moore called for volunteers to
take part In an impromptu debate.
The query. Resolved that It Is better
to be loved and lost than never to be
loved at all. Misses Alma Faulkner
and Lucille Harris and Mr. Joe Bur
nette quickly consented to support
the affirmative while Miss Emma Ball
and Mesrs James Matthews and Hugh
Moseley were eqi^ally ready to sup.
port the negatlye. These debaters j
were sincere In their argument and|
rendered many god points that we
think would likely be of much ttene-1
fit to the younger and more experience
ed guest. The judges tor this contest |
were Mrs. Lewis, of Warrenton, Mrs.,
Herman Pernell and Mrs. 8. L. Hale
of Alert The judges decided in favor
of the negative aid* and the prize was
presented as foliowt: To Miss Emma
Ball a cake of soap, to Messrs. Mat.
thews and Mesetey a can of sardine#
each. Mr. Joe Burnette was given
credit for making the best speech,
perhaps he had received more ex
perience along the line of debate. Then
came the big parade, each couple pa
raded from one room to the other end
the Judges, after long and careful
consideration, awarded the prize to
Henry Messier end Bettie Moore who
each declared the other to be the
cause of them winning the prise. Well
anyway, from their looks It was their
prise ell right Then to our surprise,
Verlie Moseley entered, dressed as
Santa Clgpg and served candy and
peanuts In abundance. Everyone left
declaring a most delightful evening.
