bTeVe gave Il pretty rocepGlOn at tutlI
beautiful home on Summit avenue
Saturday afternoon from to 6. The
house was decorated aItiSticaIly. The
gold and white furnishings of the parlOr
served to emphasize the beauty and
effectiveness of the wealth of roses
with which it was adorned. The mantel
decoration was particularly unique,
being banked with La France
roses and smilaX against a
background of shining mirrors.
Lovely baskets of mingled La
France and Catherine Mermot roses, in
tersperSed with delicate palms, ferns
and violets. were placed on little tables
at the opposite side of the room. In the
dining room q table covered with pink
and white satin spread, OIL which was
placed big bowl OF American Beauty
roses, occupied the center of the room.
At the opposite corners of the table
china candelabra, in the Wattau style,
held pink candles. A pink ribbon eX-
tended from one candelabra to the
Dther, and pretty dishes holding deli
rate sweets all in the prevailing color
filled the remaining space on the cloth.
In the hall pots of feathery, graceful
palms stood on little tables, and at the
first landing on the stairs an unusually
beautiful palm threw its graceful Shad-
OW against stained-glasS window. A
pink and white screen hid the alcove,
from which came the fairy-like strains
of mandolinS. In the hail punch was
served. In the library a pink and white
tea table occupied the bay window;
and, amid all this beauty, pretty women
in dainty gowns showed how lovely and
gracious a woman can be. The women
who assisted were Mrs. CulbertSon, Mrs.
Rhodes, Sweeney, Mrs. Dr.. Fulton, Mrs.
AnSel Oppenheim, Mrs. Du Puy. Mrs.
Armstrong, Mrs. DR.. Day, Mrs. Monfort,
Mrs. Spaulding; Miss Day, Miss Spauld-
ing and Miss Kalman.
The first reception of the Nushka
club IN their pretty new home on West
ern avenue was in the form of an old
fashioned donation party; tnatiS, each
member brought something to beautify
the club room. The result was
rather heterogeneous collection of gifts,
but all were pretty and no doubt will
add largely to the attractiveneSs of the
house. The rooms were prettily decor
ated with flowers. In the parlOr OH the
left of the hall two pretty tables were
set, each with its adornment of lovely
china, tall candles with rosy shades,
and at one Mrs. Scott and Miss Finch
poured coffee; at the other Miss Lam
born poured tea. In the library
arrangements were made for the con-
coction of that pungent, but elus-
i've dish, Welsh raIebit. There
also was the table Oh which
the members. like the troubled in the
old story, cast their gifts. The mem
bers of the club we're nearly all present,
and the sound OF clicking balls told the
story of how most of them were employ
ed. The reception committee, consisting
of Mrs. Elmer, Mrs. Ordway, Mrs. Nor
ten, Mrs. Jaggard. Miss Newport, Miss
Miss Noyes, MIR. Boyle, Lieut.. Sturgis,
Mr.. Wall, Mr.. Newport and Mr.. Reed,
