AT HOME.


Bright and gay was the exterior of
that elegant haven of joy and pleasure,
the Terraces" on last evening, but
tha. lustre was surmounted by the
brightness aud gaiety within: the oc-
casion was a reception given by Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Fouke. This spacious
and beautiful home was devoid of any
attempt at floral decorations, save an
occasional touch of the treacherous
mistletoe to remind one of Xmas-tide,
thereby giving an attraceivoness to the
rich charm of the architectural beauty,
the tastily draped portieres, etc, and
rich furnishings, which bore most en-
phatically, the stamp of the individual
taste of that queen among hostesses,
Mrs. Fouke. AS one entered the Ter
races he stopped involuntarily, over
come by the beauty and brightness of
the scene in which lie found himself;
the entire lower floor had been thrown
into one immense and beautiful salon,
over more than one half of which was
stretched a canvas for the special en-
joyment of terpsichores deciples. To
further suggest thrice cordial wei
come, and to enhance a scene most en-
ticing was the receiving party who
greeted each arriving guest at the
door of the drawing room.
This party consisted Of Mr.. &. W.
Fouke in the regulation full
evening dress, with welcoming smiles
and choice works of cordiality; Mrs,
Fouke, attired in an exquisite black
faille silk, with garnitures of dainty
lavendar silk and jewelled passemen-
terie; Miss Matte Hayden, sister of the
hostess, becomingly attired in cream
velours silk, pointed bodice, square
train; graceful ostrich fan and pretty
Jewels completed this costume; Mrs.
G. u. Hayden wore satin rhadame,
court train; and the lovely trimmings
were arrayed to show a gleam of sill
yer, ornaments, pearls and gants de
suede. Those in whose compliment
the entertainment was given, were
Miss Lille Fouke, Shelbyville, ILL.,, and
Mrs. Hawes, of Hot Springs. The
dining room must not be forgotten.
for it was indeed q scene Of magnili-
cent beauty in its delicate china, crys-
tai and linens and dainty and delic-
ious deserts; large pyramid of fruits
formed an exquisite centre piece, made
doubly tempting the soft, sweet fra
GRANGE arising from the flowers sur
rounding it; the symmetry and lowell
ness Of this appropriately adorned ta-
BILE made 1t an ideal one. In attend
ance were Mrs Hawes, Of Hot Springs,
Misses Lille and Iona Fouke, Misses
Turner, Misses Chic, Misses Rosbor-
ough, Misses Mullins, Misses McLain,
