scene of handsome entertainments, but the
occasion last night excelled all the others,
and was, indeed, one of the most elegant
and recherche ever given in Lynchburg.
The parlors were Illuminated by softly
shaded lamps, which shed a becoming glow
upon the lovely groups of girls who const-
tuted the receiving party, and stood with
Mrs. Lewis just at the entrance of the par
lors, the ensemble presenting the appear

Mrs. Lewis wore gray gown with carni-
ture Of pale-yelow ostrich tips while the
young daughter Of the house was clad in
an exquisite robe CT shimmering white satin,
with berthe OF point de Venise, long white
gloves, and carried q bouquet Of white
chrysanthemums. Miss Moorehead, Of
North Carolina, stood next, and never did
the old North State have fairer represen-
tative. Her gown was OF the palest green
faille, with bodice trimmed profusely with
pearl passcmentere and point lace. Her
