The children's reception on last
Thursday evening to Hon. and Mrs. I.
E. Gibbon was an event that will long
be remembered by those who enjoyed
the hospitality of the house on that
occasion. In the hallway the decora-
tions were of smilax, entwined about
the chandelier and traced along the
walls, as was also the darker shaded
ivy. The balustrade was hidden by
mass of pepper branches interlaced
through it; the first landing of the stair
way portiere of pepper branches
was secured with pink ribbons
running across the top of "a mir
ror. In the front parlor, where
the guests were received, smilax was
gathered about the chandelier. The
CRATE was hidden with jars of palms,
with peppers and smilax interlaced
about them. The mantel was hidden
with an embankment of choice rare
ferns and smilax.
The refreshment room in the second
story was most beautifully arranged.
The decorations on the walls were of
orange, while those on the table were
of heliotrope.
