A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
Mrs. Margaret Bailey Gives an AT Home, .
in Honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bailey
and Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Bailey.

One of the most brilliant social
events of the season was the reception
given at the home of Mrs. Margaret
Bailey in honor of her two sons and
their brides-Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Bailey and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Bal
ley. The affair was held at their beau
tiful mansion on east Commerce street,
on Saturday evening. The guests
were informally received by Mrs. Mar
garet Bailey, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Bailey, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Bailey
and Mrs. Kate Christman.
The entertainment given was of q
delightful order. The guests were
given a cordial greeting wherever they
went. Some sought the sitting room,
where an orchestra of three pieces were
furnishing music and some preferred
the magnificent parlOr. where they
could exchange compliments. The
whole house glistened under an array
of electric lights. But not alone was
it a season of pleasure greeting.
| TerpsichOre welded her influence and
attracted many to the dining room,
set apart for those who delighted to
! dance. The floor was in excellent
| condition and this pastime proved to
be pleasant feature of the occasion.
In close proximity to this ''ball
room" was a coZey retreat into an
apartment known as the 'Sun ParlOr, "
but which on this occasion gave a
| beautiful view out on the moonlight
as it beamed its mellow rays on the
crystal snow that had been falling all
| day. This retreat was made all the
more beautiful by a tasteful arrange
ment of evergreen decorations, and
comfortable seats. A feature of no
small consideration was large "punch
bowl, that occupied this parlor.
Shortly before the midnight hour,
dancing ceased, and the dining room
was made ready to serve refreshments.
While this preparation was going on
entertainment was afforded by
some home-talent music, including 9
solo by Miss Ethel Cooper, accom-
panied on the piano by Mrs. F. L.
Reynolds, recitation by Miss Kath
