White entertained the Young Matrons Club and other guests at her elegant home on Chestnut and Eight streets. Mrs. White, president of the club, chose to make the affair rather informal, more as a farewell to the club for the year than the usual monthly meeting. Always sweet and gracious, she warmly wel comed the guests, and when all had arrived, presented to each a card and pencil with the request to draw a turkey. This cre ated a great deal of merriment, for some of the ladies were de cidedly not gifted with the talent of drawing. When the cards were ready for inspection, the hostess placed them on a table, every one voting for the best likeness of his Lordship the Gobler. The greatest number of votes fell to the card belonging to Mrs. Lloyd Townsend, and sl e was the recipient of the blue ribbon." Limit of space alone prevents mention of each fair artist's at tempts, even if some of the sketches resembled other fowl more closely than turkeys. A beautiful five-course lunch eon was served in the dining- room, after Which the guests de parted thanking Mrs. White for the morning's pleasure. $9, 474 in Pensions to be Distrib uted in Robeson.
