Tate Hospitably I'.iitertaliied a Host of Friends. The serial whirl of Kauiseur was never more manifest than at the hospitable home of IV. and Mrs. C S. Tate last Saturday even ing The guests were already assembling at 8:30; ere long the parlors would be animated by all that the beauty of fair woineu may incite. Kaiuseur is noted, and not wholly, either, from tier mills and factories; and it is this matter of uote which alone serves well to keep here in sweet thraldom, the restless spirit of her Don Juaus. The west may be roblieJ, yet our giaccful Dueunos patrioti cally smile, and lo!. the crisis of the emigra gratimi fever arrives, the patient recovers, audUa;s in Kamscur. We uowd with interest the presence rf several strangers; and among our to nifhilk were .Mrs. W. II. Watkins, Jr, Mrs. W. II. Watlvius Sr., Misses Lena Smith, Daile Whitehead, ila')el ilome, Florence Luther, Annie Scott, Annie Black, Blanche Coving ton, Sallie Fuust, Maude Curtis, Sallie Thom a. id Mis. Lola Thomas. The following gentlemen wete present: Messrs. Moure, Pickett Turner. John Parks, Eugene Marlcy, Charles McCauless, James Laml.rt, J. Biowii, E .lolu.sou, Amick Thomas, and Henry Kimrey. t'nder the pleasing effects of subdued light shades, .unrounded with llowers uud fiTiis, our evening sped us if on piuioi s borne, by music. In an adjoining parlor, some of the guests, interested in certain phases of the occult, were invoking the mys tic, and were leading the subject to some hidden key, ring, or photo. Anon Jacob and Iiachel played a ill-o'-the-Wisp phan tasy behind blindfolded eyes, a game doubtless symbolical of many similar games played by real llachels and Jacobs in less festive surroundings, jet doubtless, more successfully. Later events of the evening revealed the dominating influence of our hostess, still more clearly, in tasteful table decorations. It was lavish in its display of sweetmeats of many delicious varieties. Begonias and ferns made pretty settings for the dishes of deserts, fruits cakes that would have ma le Scruge's heart soften if he had been a w it ness to its cordial cheer. We had begun to live down our childhood tastes for sweets, so we thought before we entered. But iu ( urselves we provi d a big argument for "more," for our acts atf.ue ' for us. Others tin re were w ho took our side of the argument in favor of such deli cacies and all partook heartily. Ytt. with all that is aid, we feel that the kindly hospitably of our worthy host and ho-tess is likely to be remembered longer than allelse of the evening's charms. Jan. 27, l'J07. Cil vs. I'.. M.
