Hunt, on Thursday, October 2nd, at 1 o’clock, the Sew Club gave a very delightful luncheon in honor of three of its members,'namely, Mrs. Charles E. Prior, Miss Julia Leopold and Miss Edith Shedd. Mrs: Prior, formerly Miss Flora Harris, is a recent bride, while the two young ladies are to be married in the near future, Miss Leopold to Mr. Louis Haas, of Tipton, Ind., and Miss §hedd to Dr. Sparling, of Van Dorn, Alabama. To the strains of Mendelsohn’s Wedding March, rendered by Mrs. M. D. Gwin, the happy company assembled around the tables, which wore arranged to form one unbroken circle. Covers were laid for thirty-one. The decorations of white and green were confined to the tables and were especially beautiful, consisting of asters in baskets with tulle bows on the handles, vines and sumac leaves. Bows of tulle on three of the chairs easily designated the honored places and lent a festive air to the occasion. Conspicuous among the decorations were three cakes, beautifully trimmed with leaves and trailing vines and containing the magical ring, thimble ancf coin. Mrs. Leo Wolf, sister of Miss Leopold, added the last exquisite touch in the form of three very lovely bunches of roses. As guests, whom the Sew Club 'was happy to honor on this occasion, were the mothers of the three young women, Mrs. Shedd, Mrs. Leopold and Mrs. Harris: also Mrs. Jesse E. Wilson, a former member, and Mrs. Leo Wolf, both of Hammond.

At the conclusion of the first course, Mrs. John A. Dunlap sang in an impressive way, “Oh, Promise Me.” Mrs. Ross Dean served as toastmistress and as the luncheon progressed all were delighted with her gracefulness, her agreeable wit and apt remarks A number of toasts expressing the thought of the occasion were given. Miss Shedd responded in a very charming manner, voicing the appreciation and gratification of herself, Miss Leopold and Mrs. Prior for the honor bestowed upon them, and touching briefly upon the beauty and enduring qualities of friendship. Miss Shedd’s remarks were received with great pleasure, giving as they did the undercurrent of sentiment that makes such assemblies memorable., Much merriment prevailed and expectation ran high as the time for cutting the cakes drew near. Miss Mildred Harris fortunately found the ring: Miss Mary Yates the thimble and Miss Maude Spitler the coin. A picture was taken of the company as they wore leaving the table.
