Wednesday, May 11, 1932 HUSTON DAILY LEADER, HUSTON, LOUISIANA Page Three PHONE 126 Miss Maude McAllister, Editor Annual Picnic to be Held By Win One Class Thursday RED SLIPPERS Did you ever stroll behind red slippers down the street? High-heeled small red slippers in young and slender feet? Did your heart start singing to their little beat? Did somehow your own shoes, sensible aim slow, Run of a sudden with you back to long ago? Did the little slippers, flashing in the light Dance around the corner out of sound and sight? Did your heart trail after wistfully in flight? Did somehow your own shoes, sensible and slow, Come walking, staidly walking, back from long ago? Romlg Fuller.

D. S. Calhoun is superintendent, boarded cars and were driven to Roberts' pasture, where games of many kinds were played. The spread of good things which included fruits, cakes, bottled drinks and other things, was supplemented by the fun of fishing in the little streams which courses through the beautiful acres of the pasture and by swinging from the limbs of trees, as well as roaming pyer t-fte lulls.

Quality Work At Reasonable Prices Daughters-Mothers Banquet Lovely Event of Last Evening Cleverly conceived and beautifully executed was the Daughters-Mothers banquet which the Euzellan Class of the First Baptist Church, tendered last evening in the banquet room of the church, at 7:30 o'clock. This annual social event in the lives of the girls and their mothers is the brightest spot in their social calendar, but none which has preceded that of last night will be remembered more fondly by the participants for unalloyed pleasure.

Miss Blanche May was the first speaker, and gave as her toast, "Flowers for Our Queen." Mrs.

C. G. Latimcr responded, and then Mrs. Olan Morgan, in a clever and original verse, recited "Arise Daughters and Crown Your Queen," whereupon all the young women placed tho wreaths of ivy commingled with garden flowers, on the gentle brows of their mothers, after which the girls joined hands and danced around them singing a roundelay to the tune of a familiar play-game- song. Miss Dorothy Harris sang in her loveliest voice and with appealing tenderness, "In the Garden of My Heart," and on an encore, "Little Mother O' Mine," with Miss Victoria Andrews at the piano.

Mrs. Dell Thatcher in "Faith of a Queen," made a delightful little address which held a world of sentiment for both the girls and their mothers. Miss Ruth Wright, "musical maiden," delighted with a saxaphone solo, being 1 accompanied by Miss Andrews. Miss Dorothy Harrell in a dramatic reading, "Down by the Rio Grande," brought back to the mind of most of the mothers present the days when they themselves gave trie favorite old selection with gusto, from the platform of their school's auditorium. Nick Medica, whose lovely voice has quite captivated all who have heard him sing, was next on the program, and sang with all the tenderness and feeling for which the old song is expressive, "Mother Mrs.

R. L. Reese in her "Miracle Motherhood" made a touching little talk, while another piano number which was listed "Music Box for Our Queen," was sweetly rendered by Miss Ethel Cole. The girls sang "Ginger Up" and as a parting song, "Goodnight Mothers." Heralds and jesters to the queen, were, Nick Medica, Herchal Pettus and Sammie Martin. These young men also made themselves handy in the dinningroom where they assisted the members of the Women's Missionary Society in serving the delicious four-course dinner.

The setting for the banquet was exquisite in its appointments, a color scheme of green and pink being used with faultless grace on the table where crystal candlesticks held pink tapers in pairs, representing the daughter and the mother, and in the center of the tables were May poles wound with green and pink which reached out to the covers and were attached to the combination place cards and programs, which were in the form of a May basket filled with delightful old-fashioned flowers. This was the clever work of Miss Ruth Williams. Crystal basket holding larkspur, pansies and other garden flowers further embellished the tables, and in the hall stoo.d tall floor baskets also filled with blossoms of the yes- ter-year popularity, Daughters and their mothers, or in the absence of their own mothers, selected mothers, present, were: Miss Loralne Ponder and Mrs. W.
