Mrs. Percy Silver and Edward Aull
entertained Saturday afternoon, June
9th, from three to six O'Clock p. M, in
honor of Mrs. Ed. Jamison, of Fulton.
The many friends of the hostesses antic-
ipated a most delightful afternoon, and
were not in the least disappointed, as a
more enjoyable entertainment has not
been given in Lexington for many a day.
The spacious home of Mrs. Silver never
looked more inviting than on this occa-
sion. The house was decorated profusely
in sweet peas, of different varieties. Lists
of the guests invited were distributed
among those present, and as the letters of
each name were very much misplaced, 1t
look a good part of the afternoon to
s%traighten them out and arrange them in
their correct order. Miss Mary Silver
was the first to complete her list, so was
the winner of the prize, a beautiful hand
painted sugar and cream. She was so
thoughtful as to compliment the lady of
honor by presenting her with the prize
she so deservedly won. Delightful
refreshments of salads, creams, cakes,
olives, sailed almonds and coffee were
served during the afternoon. Six O'Clock
came only too soon, as the guests were
loathe to leave such a hospitable home
and such charming hostesses.
