Mrs. Cary's First Reception in Her
New House.
AN ARRAY OF BEAUTIES.
Yellow the Prevailing Tone at an After
noon Gathering Composed Of
Society Bellies.

Afternoon receptions have been so
rare of late that the charming recep-
ton, given by Mrs. Sylvester M. Cary
from to yesterday, seemed something
like a social innovation. Itwas the first
entertainment Mrs. Cary has given at
her new home on Summit court, and
hence the air of novelty was further in
creased. The pretty hall, finished in
natural oak, walls done in robins egg
blue, and polished floors covered with
rugs was decorated with palms and cut
flowers in jars, while curtains OF. smilax
draped the doorways leading into
the different rooms. Mrs. Cary,
with her sister, Mrs. Charles
Goold, Albany. N. Y, for whom
the reception was given, and Mrs. Will
lam Hunt, Jr., greeted her friends in
the drawing room. In the library,
which opens off one side of the hall,
tea was served by Misses Patterson,
Hale, Nauman, Smythe and Squires.
Mrs. William Hunt, Sr., and Mrs.
Charles Thompson presided at the re-
freshment table in the dining room,
other ladies who assisted being Mes
danes f. B. Bass, j. W. White, j. n.
Hannaford, Bement and Howard N.
Elmer. The drawing room and parlOr
are done in satinwOOd, and yellow is the
dominant tone of the handsome furnish
ingS. Yesterday afternoon, to the other
attractions was added the charm of
great punches of roses. heliotrope and
jonquils, placed here and there in cut
glass jars and dainty vases, and Grim
son shaded lamps in the library cast a
becoming rosy light upon the young
ladies who poured tea. 1t seemed
a pity that they should blush
whole afternoon upon the desert air
Of feminine indifference. The dining
room was CLEAN of glory done in yell
low. The wood work of the room is an
tiaue oak. The tiling about the fire.

yellow shades of the chandelier. In the
