A social triumph. and one that has
been unsurpassed during the summer
season, was the garden party given at
Monument Place at Elm Grove on Fri
day evening by Miss Marie Potter Lor-
ing in honor of her sister, Mrs. Charles
j. Milton Of st. Louis, and Miss Rebecca
G. Tyler of Louisville. The charming
presence of Mrs. Milton again at the
old homestead, not to speak of the at
tractive guest, Miss Tyler, who during
her visit has gained favor in social cir
cles throughout the city, happily caused
a most complete response to the invita-
tions issued. The hours which
prevailed included the latter
half OF the afternoon, and
the major part of the evening. Quite a
number Of guests betook themselves to
the festive scenes in the afternoon,
while many more arrived in the early
hours Of the evening, eight o'clock wit
Messing quite an array Of lastly attired
guests. Ravishing garden hats, light
crepes, and tulle, and laces with a
wealth of summer roses, contributed to
effective full dress toilettes on the occa-
sion.
Miss Loring was assisted In receiving
by Mrs. A. J. Patterson, most handsome
ly attlred, and always so gladly welcom-
ed by the leaders Of society, also Mrs.
Mutton and Miss Lydia McMechen.
Major Alonzo Loring was also attentive
to many details, and altogether not
desire or caprice went untitled. The
guests were charmingly entertained
from start to finish, and together with
lawn tennis, croQuet, dancing, music
and dainty refreshments served at in
tervals marked the occasion as one Of
the foremost Of the season. The hand
some and spacious lawn was brilliantly
illuminated throughout producing rich
scenic effects. There was everything
presented that could please the eye,
charm the ear, soothe aesthetlcism or
produce the eliminating point Of pleas
ure, complete satisfaction, and nothing
was lacking. Not breath of air that
was not laden with natures choicest
perfumes distilled in the fair-like labra-
tory Of the rose; not ripple of the
atmosphere that did not carry its bur-
den Of concord Of sweet sound; not a
light wave OF the all pervadlng ether
that did not carry some part Of an en-
trancing vision, composite of beauti-
ful maidens, handsome matrons, rich
costumes, combinations the most perfect
Of the perfection of handiwork OF
art and nature. All the afternoon and
evening the guests moved through such
scenes. Beneath the softly shining
stars they wended homeward, followed
by the soothing, softening strains of the
evening song. to awake next day and
look back upon it ell as dream. 1t was
not dream, but such blending of the
material and the immaterial that one
might pause long before saying, "Here
ends the real and here begins the unex-
plored realms OF unfettered magma
tion." 1t is upon such infrequent
pleasures as these that memory loves to
dwell.
