Mr. and Mrs. F.M.
MOSS entertained at an elegant eight o'clock dinner on last Saturday night in honor of Miss Virginia
BARNS, who is their charming house guest this winter. Those seated at table were; Mr. and Mrs. F.M.
MOSS, Misses Nan NICKEL, Fannie GROSECLOSE, Pansy
MEEK, Nannie Rose, Letty, Lucy and Mary Bell MOSS and Virginia
BARNS and Messrs. Frank, Charles, George and Oscar MOSS, and Dr.
HIGGINBOTHAM. The dinner was one of those sumptuous creations known familiarly in the good old days "befo de wah" but, mores the pity, not often met with since. This feast ran thru the entire culinary alphabet from turkey to plum pudding. After dinner the guests returned to the parlors where merry making was indulged in until quite a late hour.
