Mrs. Boyce Hallman Entertains Book Club, Nov. 18, 1920

Marshville, Nov. 18--Mrs. Boyce Hallman entertained the Book club with a delightful party Wednesday afternoon. the bungalow, lovely within itself, was further enhanced with an artistic arrangement of autumn leaves interspersed with yellow and white chrysanthemums and potted ferns and hanging baskets. The shades were down and electric lights and candles glowed amidst the autumnal setting. Everywhere small cardboard turkeys peeped out from the foliage, and the dining table held a pumpkin surrounded by fruits and nuts mingled iwth autumn leaves, suggestive of the Thanksgiving season. The rooms were thrown together and tables arranged for progressive "turkey," the score cards bearing saucy looking gobblers. Mrs. Baxter Griffin won a handpainted nut bowl as prize and Mrs. Smith Medlin received a prize box as consolation. Chicken salad with delicious accessories were served, the plates bearing attractive Thanksgiving favors. (From the front page of The Monroe Journal, Nov. 19, 1920)
