been given In Lexington for many q day.
/ The hours were from two to five, and
different honrs were SO allotted TO the
guests as to have only a pleasant gather
log present at any one time. The pretty
cottage home on Main street was never
more attractive than on this occasion,
each room being profusely decorated with
handsome palms and ferns and roses. and
cut-giass dishe filled with olives and
bonbons. A very elaborate menu OF four
courses was nicely served, and was all the
more palatable from being served on such
dainty and artistic hand painted china, so
much OF which Mrs. Aull is not only the
possessor, but painter. From the dining
room the guests were ushered into the
library, where fruit punch was served by
Misses Bessie Wallace and Mary Graves.
The beautiful music by the orchestra was
by no means the least attractive feature OF
the entertainment, and it was thoroughly
enjoyed by each and every guest, all of
whom attributed to Mrs. Aull the COM
pliment OF being a most delle htful host.
