a pretty lavender dinner to Miss
McGrew, her bridesmaids and DR..
her home aon the Plains, Thursday.

toward enhancing the enjoyment of a

exact hue with the orchids. The ends
of this knot ran out to the corners and
hung gracefully over. At either end of
the table We're other and smaller vases
of orchids. The two candelabras, with
white and lavender shades, added an
other charm to the decorations. The
