A Brilliant Reception

Rev. and Mrs. B. W. r. Tayler gave a
brilliant reception last night at the new
rectory. 1886 South Grand avenue. The
event was in the nature of house
warming and the throng of guests that
crowded the pretty rooms from early
until late in the evening more than tes-
titled to the many friends of the rector
and his charming wife. A tribute to
Mr.. Tayler and proof of the warm feel
ing that exists between pastor and con-
gregation was the presentation of a
purse of $3.50, which was given last night
with a gracefully turned speech by Mr..
Pooley, jr., warden of the church. Mr..
Tayler responded in sincere and feeling
terms to the kindness and thoughtful-
ness of his congregation in their gener-
Gus gift. The house was charmirgly
decorated with variety of flowers that
were intermingled with vines and smi-
lax. The drawing room was redolent
with sweet peas that were festooned
over the door ways and caught up here
and there with clusters of the same
flowers. Yellow Marguerites and mas
turmiums bedecked the study. The
tempting viands were served on the Sec
ond floor and were presided over by Mrs.
Knewing and Mrs. Albert Crutcher, as
sisted by the Misses Grier, Misses Nc
Allister, Miss Pooley, Miss Nelson. Ger
trude Mason, Miss Powell and Miss Nos-
burg. The two rooms where the guests
were served were decorated respectively
in dark red and white roses with an ar
tistic finish of smilax. Mrs. Tayler was
assisted in receiving by Miss Rankine
of st. Johns, n. 3. In a cosy corner of
the dining room Mrs. Tom Robertson
and Miss Pinkham presided over re-
freshing bowl of punch. Mingling with
the merry voices that resounded
through the rooms was the delightful
music of the Ladies' Venetian orchestra.
the evening was very delightful one
and the hour was late when the last
guests took their departure and bid good
night to the hospitable host and hostess.
Among the many who were present
were Bishop and Mrs. Johnson, Mines.
