VAUGHAN RECEPTION.

street, The sanguine expectations Of
the many guests were royalty fulfilled.
To receive their guests, Judge and
Mrs. Vaughan were surrounded by
that bright trio, Misses Adine and
Minnie Vaughan and Miss Ethel Larry;
maid of honor, Miss Mable Hitler
The entire home bore evidence of
that tasteful arrangement, which intel
ligent and true hospitality alone can
give. The decorations were effective
ly executed; flowers were most appro-
priately placed here, there and every
where. The fragrance Of those bloom
ing touches of nature seem to wait
greeting to the entering guests, sug-
gestive of the unfolding of the debu-
tante "buds," who assisted in the well
come. The parlor, brilliantly lighted,
mingled its radiance with the roses,
ivy and ferns, SO deftly placed as to
emphasize the works Of art that elicit
ed so much admiration, notable among
the many beautiful ones was crayon
study of "Venus and Cupid" the hand
work of Miss Vaughan, and another,
the "Lucky Dog" masterpiece in oil
from the brush of Mrs. Vaughan. In
the library potted plants, geraniums
and pink roses lent additional beauty
to the radiant scene. In another room
were stray bits of ivy midst profu-
sion of syringa, a mantel fairly em
powered in magnificent white roses
had background of feathery foliage.
About 1880 o'clock an invitation to
the spacious dining room combined
beauty and interest in its revelation;
sideboard and buffet had thrust midst
the cut glass and rare china blossoms
of the choicest nature. The table was
in the form Of cross and laid with
beautifully embroidered cover, fes-
tooned with roses; dainty yiands of
salads, ices and cakes were intersper-
sed with other relishes. The chande-
lier which hung above was garlanded
in lemon lilies, smilax and yiolets; but
a bewitchingly tropic touch to the
scene was given by the centre-piece--a
huge pyramid of all imaginable kinds
of fruits, nesting on the top of which
ab though conscious Of their beauty,
were two lovely magnolias.
Judge Vaughan gracefully aided
his intelligent and entertaining wife
and her charming assistants to do the
honors. Altogether the affair was ell
joyable in the extreme and voted a
brilliant success, the memory of which
breathes Of naught save congeniality
and pleasure. Mrs Vaughan was
gowned in a robe Of gray silk henriet-
ia, embossed with pink garniture,
rare duchess lace at the neck confined
by diamonds.
Miss Adine Vaughan wore be-
coming and stylish creation of
nile green brocaded silk, de-
collete with silver aud chiffon trim
miDgs; white gloves and shoes; mare
chel-neil roses.
Miss Minnie Vaughan wore captl-
vating empire dress Of rich red silk;
red gloves and slippers; white violets.
Miss Ethel Larry was attired in a
red India silk, e0ectually combined
with red lace; shoes and gloves Of the
same color completed this pretty cos
tune.
Miss Mabel Hitler, the little maid Of
honor, wore pretty white costume,
and looked her usual charming and
pretty self
