given at 1 o’clock Friday, by Mrs.
Carl Thompson, in compliment to
Mrs. C. R. Hoey, wife of the gov-J

January to make her home in Ral

Hoey was dressed for the affair in
a frock of Napoleon blue crepe
with black trim and wore black ac
cessories. Mrs. Thompson received
her guests in a pretty model of
aqua marine crepe.
The beautiful Thompson home
was effectively decorated for the
affair. In the drawing room where
four small tables were arranged for
serving the luncheon, the Christ-1
mas theme prevailed, red berries
and potted poinsettias furnishing
the decoration, and in the dining
room the hostess had used a golden
note with charming effect. The
long table, covered with a lace
cloth, held three antique, gold and
white compotes. The large one, in
the center of the table, held yellow
snapdragons, golden calendulas and
ferns and two smaller ones, placed
near the ends of the table, were
filled with yellow and gold colored
fruits.
A complete turkey luncheon was
served from the table, buffet style,
with Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Charles
L. Eskridge. Mrs. Lewis Baley, and
Mrs. Rush Thompson, helping
guests to serve their plates.
Covers at the tour tables in the
drawing room were laid for: Mrs.
Hoey, Miss Isabel Hoey, Mrs. Chas.

SHOW INTEREST IN
OTHER COUNTRIES
Mr. Kendall Impress
ed With Recent
Change Here
Interest here In foreign affairs
is the most noticeable change Henry
E. Kendall found on his return to
Shelby after two years absence in
China. He has been in China six
years altogether.
Mr. and Mrs. Kendall reached
Shelby Saturday and are with Mrs.
Kendall’s mother, Mrs. H. E. Ken*
dall. They left Shanghai more than
a month ago. Going to Yokohoma
they boarded a Japanese liner
which brought them direct to New
York. The liner, a silk Boat, carried
a cargo of silk worth more than
$3,000,000. Also in the carqo were
tons of arsenic.
The trip was made on a Japan
ese liner because of the Pacific
coast jstrike which has tied up Pol
ler line boats, operated by Ameri
cans. The Japanese boat, which p’A
in at California, as unable to dis
charge cargo there for Pacific
points. It kept the freight aboard
until it reached New York and the
cargo was unloaded there and re
turned to California by rail.
The ship was to carry back to
Japan a cargo of scrap iron and
old rubber, which Japan buys and
utilises in its manufacturing Indus
tries.
China, says Mr. Kendall, is ap
parently stiffening up in its opposi
tion to Japan and Japan has been
forced to take back water several
times in the part few months.
A few years ago, he says, when
in Shelby nobody was interested in
foreign affairs. The interest shown
now shows an amasing change and
the realisation of people generally
that foreign matters are of import
ance to everyone.
