Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden presided at the North Carolina table. The southern atmosphere was carried out most ap- propriately by the unique decorations she had made in the South especially for the occasion. A pair of mules, driven by a little pickaninny, and haul- ing a load of three little bales of cot- ton, was the favor for each guest. The centerpiece was the same conveyance and load of much large dimensions. Mrs. Alden comes of a southern fam- ily. Her father, Bingham Nehemiah Smith, was one of the promoters of the first graded school in Charlotteville. She is also a great-niece of the late Ex-Governor Glenn of North Carolina. --)-- J.
