AT HOME.

Invitations issued some time ago
prepared the young ladies and gentle
men friends of DIR. and Mrs. Alexan-
der c. Lovett, for the pleasant AT
Home and dance which took place at
their delectable and spacious residence
on State street last evening. A spon-
taneous compliment from host and
hostess to Miss Lizzie Rosborough,
whose peculiarly charming personali-
ty makes her friends legion. The hall
and reception rooms were beautitied
by wreath of natures sweetest
gift-fowers, silently lending their
perfume to the entire house as they
should wish to sweeten the pathway
of the one in whose honor so much
beauty and gallantry were gathered,
and for whom they were culled'
Freizes of ivy and smilax were deftly
placed; flowers and foliage found their
way in and out of the rare lace cur
tains and silken portieres, catching IN
their natural growth, as it were, mir
rors, mantles, pictures and chande-
liers, fern and bamboo surmounted
the entrance arches. Brewers orchestra
furnished an endless concord of sweet
sounds" forming rare trio of the
pleasant things that cheer when COM
bined with the brilliancy of the nu-
merous lighted jets and glowing flow
ers, hither, thither and yonder. The
entering guests were greeted by the
fair Misses Minnie and Mabel Talbot
thence welcomed by the guest Of
honor, Miss Rosborough, DR.. and Mrs
Lovette, gracious host and hostess
Misses Moores and Chic, assistants
Miss Rosborough was becomingly
clad in an exquisite white silk MULE
the bretels and ruffles of which were
daintily hand painted ferns; white
roses, gloves and slippers completed
the pretty costume. Mrs. Lovettt
was gowned IN a rich and stylish
brocaded pink silk; garniture of rare
lace and diamond jewels. A peeI
into the dining salon at 11:30 clearly
portrayed the fact that there was the
acme of Mrs. Lovette's artistic touch
es, the handsome sideboard was en-
cased in flowers and ferns, canopy
was formed over the table of pink
ribbons, emerging from huge bunch
of magnolias just below the chande
lier; the centre piece was pretty ivy
margined lake, running out of which
again were noticed the snowy magno
lias, the floral cenceit of the hour, al
each cover; for the gentlemen, was
souvenir boutonniere-a white rose
bud and rose geranium leaf, caught
with pink bow knot The adleuxs
werenot said until late, for all seemed
inclined to linger longer, SO facinat-
ing was the affair in detail. Society
has to thank DR.. and Mrs. Lovett fol
one of the most elaborate and enjoya
bic affairs of the season. Those who

tality were: Misses Lizzie Rosbor
