Miss Margaret Bramlett entertained at a bridge party
Wednesday afternoon at her home in Inman Park, the occasion assembling a large
number of her friends to meet two attractive visitors. Miss Grace Lipscomb, of
Washington, D. C., and Miss Elizabeth Lipscomb, of Jackson, Miss., who are the
guests of Mrs. Rosser at the Majestic.
The house was decorated with a luxuriant growth of palms and
ferns, with growing plants, and the rooms where the card tables were placed
were illuminated with numbers of pink candles in brass stands on the mantels
and cabinets.
The prize for top score was a boudoir cap, the consolation
was silk stockings, and the honor guests received dainty boudoir jackets as
special souvenirs.
Miss Bramlett was gowned for the
afternoon in mahogany charmeuse, made with coat effect of cream lace, finished
at the throat with soft folds at chiffon.

COUNTY
WANTS REDUCTION
IN ITS BILL FOR ASPHALT
Barber Company Notified Debt
Will Be Paid if Conditions
Are Met
The board of Fulton county
commissioners Wednesday morning voted to notify the Barber Asphalt company it
was ready to meet the bill which it holds against the county, provided the
company would agree to give the county the deduction on the Marietta street
paving which the county asks.
The action of the board followed a
communication from Luther Z. Rosser in which the county attorney ruled that the
county is warranted in refusing to pay the full amount of the asphalt bill. The
county gave the Barber company the contract for the Marietta street paving,
agreeing at that time to use the Bermuda brand of asphalt. Since then it has
become known that the Barber company makes a cheaper brand of asphalt known as
the Trinidad which is not offered to the county.
The county has made the point that it
should be allowed to pay the cheaper price, a difference of about $4,000.
