"A charming dinner was given Monday
evening by MI. and Mrs. c. B. Mer-
Ram at their pretty home on Fillmore
street complimentary to Miss Margaret
Dudley and DR.. William B. Walker.
The guests were seated at two long
tables, which were decorated in red. The
centerpiece on the bridal table was
unique as well as artistic; it consisted
of two hearts made of red carnations,
placed side by side, and both pierced
with a Cupid's dart. Red carnations
were also used on the other table.
The name cards were dainty affairs,
lettered and edged with gold, with two
tiny red hearts, pierced with dart in
the upper right hand corner. On the
back of each was a quotation appro-
pirate to the occasion.
Miss Dudley's card bore the following
verse:
Sweet William, pinks and mignonette,
yield fragrance night and noon,
Tip-toeing lilies, anxious fret, to glimpse
the bride of June"
On DR.. Walkers card was this verse:
"she that was ours. henceforth is only
thine;
Begood to her who hath her life in thee"
