The Chilhowee echo. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1899-19??, 1899-10-28

himself to parched tuft of verdure,
there to drop, TO suffer, to die-it is
story, tragedy told on bit of canvas.
1t is such art as this that educates, not
alone the eye and taste, but the mind
and heart.
The Womans' Building has rarely ap-
peared in prettier guise than on We'd
nesday night when Miss Elizabeth Ken
nedy entertained with a cotillon in hon
or of her guest Miss Cover, of Winches-
ter, Virginia. 1t was the unanimous
verdict that no prettier cotilion was ever
danced in Knoxville.
Mr.. f. H. McClung led, dancing with
Miss Cover. By-the-way, Knoxville
should have the opportunity to enjoy
Miss Covers music. Her talent both as
musician and composer is pronounced,
having had the advantage of cultivation
across seas.
Many comments were passed on the un-
usually attractive dancing gowns worn
on this occasion. A white organdie
which was simplicity itself, was yet full
of crisp beauty with it's pleatings out
lined in deep rose satin ribbon, the skirt
above the pleatings tucked in half inch
tucks between which ran rows OF wider
pink ribbon. The waist and sleeves
were similarly adorned. Another, also
organdie was yellow, corn or lemon yell
low, all little black edged frills with the
waist low, outlined fchu, fashion with a
scarf of yellow, the skirt disporting itself
upon the floor in the approved Japan
esque style.
The afternoon of Thursday was marked
by reception rendered in compliment
to Miss Annie Dee McClung and Miss
Griselda Scott, OF Lexington, KY, by
Mrs. A. P. Lockett. These young Ia
dies, with the fair hostess, were charm
ingly gowned, and new costumes were
out in full force. Another black jetted
net was noticeable, relieved by single
yellow velvet rosette, which struck an
effective color note on the perfect fit
ting bodice. A striking yellow turban
in velvet and chiffon, with mink trim
ming, completed this superb toilette.
Grey proved the most popular tint
among the costumes at this reception.
A pretty girl wore a pretty tan silk,
with lace applique about the skirt, a
turquoise silk waist, garnished in fiat
passementerie effects, with the tan
sleeves tucked, giving a quaint effect
altogether pleasing. Tucks, by the
way, find themselves favorites in the
dress world, used in unaccustomed
places and on once incongruous mate
rials. But fashion adapts all things to
her use.
