ST. PHILIP’S CHURCH NOTES
On the night of Monday, February
19 the Guild Room of St. Philip’s
Church became the scene of one of the
most enjoyable social affairs in the
recent history of the church. The
occasion was the dinner given for the
beiefit of the church. Many reser
vations had been made in advance;
and these special tables are worthy of
separate mention.
At one table reservations were made
by Mrs. Wallace for about twenty
two guests including the entire choir
and invited clergy and their wives.
The table was decorated in the Colo
nial style and was a good example of
the hostess’ ability along this line.
Some of the choir members wore
Colonial costumes; fitting toasts were
given, and prizes were awarded to the
three guessing the most corerct an
swers to a list of Colonial conun
drums. The center-piece, a large ship,
the candle-sticks, and all other deco
rations of this table bore out the
Colonial idea.
Near this table was another very
beautifully adorned one under the
capable direction of Mrs. Roberts’ hos
pitality. The color scheme carried out
by the hostess here was gold and
black, and was enhanced by the pres
ence of a generous bouquet of yellow
flowers. The reservation was made
for the ladies of the N. W. C. A. The
spirit of congeniality and contentment
permeating the atmosphere around
this table was sufficient evidence of
the appreciation which the twenty
five guests had, not only for the ex
cellent dinner, but also for the hos
pitality which they shared.
Nor must we forget the table re
served for one of the most important
factors in church work—the Woman’s
Auxiliary. Judging from the hilarious
sounds issuing from that comer, one
might have thought it was the Chil
dren’s Auxiliary, for there were snap
pers, paper caps and favors galore.
Here was room for naught but glad
ness. Mr. and Mrs. “Blue” and all
the little “Blues” had been shoved off
the table and out into the great un
known for pink and white reigned at
this table. The blushing center-piece
of pink and white carnations was a
most fitting decoration for the sweet
sixteen who surrounded this festal
board.
There were nearly one hundred and
fifty people present to share in the
ample and deliciously served dinner,
and to enjoy a most delightful even
ing. The favorable comments and ex
pressions of praise reflect due credit
upon the willing and untiring efforts
of the committee in charge, Miss Paul,
Mrs. J. C. Donley and Mrs. Joe Brown,
and their volunteer assistants.
The Ash Wednesday services were
well attended.
The Woman’s Auxiliary met at the
residence of Mrs. R. T. Walker Thurs
day afternoon. Mrs. O., C. Williams,
director of Religious Education, was
present. The Auxiliary is studying
The New World.
