The reception of Mr.. and Mrs. f. j.

of the year. 1t took place in the new
home of the Lowreys and was, aside

warming"
For the occasion the house and the
grounds were brilliantly lighted and
had an air of cheerfulness that was
distinctive and inspiring. The re-
ceiving party, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lowrey and Mr. and Mrs. Cooke,
stood just inside the front parlor.
Guests upon arrival passed through
the large lanai, were met by Mr.. and
Mrs. Lowrey and presented to the
honorary guests of the evening.
The Quintette club, stationed on
the balcony in the rear of the parlor,
| furnished music. At 9 o'clock re-
| freshments were served. After
that the guests were shown all
over the new house. All the apart
ments were thrown wide and the Wis.,
itors inspected it from pillar to dome.
The features of the lower floor at
tracted special attention and admlra-
| ton of every one. In the center of
the building is a small court with Il
fountain and pool. Last night the
fountain was surrounded by palms
and vases of water 'lilies. Myriads of
| gold fish could be seen here and
there in the pool, their bright, yellow
forms being clearly. depicted by the
light. High above the fountain was
a beautiful arrangement of coiored
! lights, which cast a master study of
hues upon the scene.
