One Of the moot brilliant and beausi-
full receptions Of tho essson was given
by Mrs. John E. Platter and MisB Waddi-
love Tuesday evening At shsiE home il
the Baker block. The dsoosationn, under
the supervision Of Mrs. Annie Bancroft,
were most artistic and elaborate. The
arge hall, which extends tho entire
length of the building, wsB canvssed,
and made beautiful with tropical plants,
palms and smilax. The balustrades
were interviewer with pepper and bor-
dered at the top with magnolia leaves.
Mrs. Platter and Miss Waddiloye, as
sisted by Mrs. Hugh Mscniel, received
their guests under a canopy Of smilax
in the background and at one side
were small stands holding handsome
bowls of carnations and roses. Near,
seated in the center OF one eide OF the
hall was the orchestra on q platform
that was made artistic with bansns
plants and softly shaded lamps. Over
head graceful strands OF Hmilax were
festooned. At the far end of the hall
was arranged cosy corner with conn
Portable seats draped with the Ameri-
can flag; held in its folds were two
large gildeG spoons. The drawing
rooms were in pink, this freS~work be-
tween the folding doors wss interviewer
with smilGx, and on either side were
long sticks of perforated bamboo in
which were clusters Of pink carnations.
The same idea was carried out on the
walls, the sticks being filed with pink
carnations and strands of smilax which
were caught against tho wall in differ
emit directions.
The supper room, whore elaborate re-
freshments we're served, was entirely ia
red, and two smaller rooms, that were
used ae punch rooms during the even-
ing, were simply but effectively deco-
rated.
