Mrs. G. A. Williams Entertains Lady Friends Friday Afternoon.

% Mrs. George A. Williams delightfully entertained some seventy ladies Friday afternoon at her home on Forest street. A novel and instructive contest in ornithology was introduced. The pictures of twenty-five varieties of birds were displayed about the room and each guest was asked to write the names of the birds. Mrs. Austin Hopkins proved the most expert Audubon connoisseur, correctly naming 23 of the 25 birds. She was given as a prize a very pretty hand painted China plate. Another form of entertainment was the reading by the hostess of a little romance that embodied the names of a number of old songs, and these names were to be supplied by the guests, following the playing of a part of the song on the piano by Mrs. M. D. Gwin. The occasion was a very pleasant one for all in attendance.
