The reception to be given Mrs. Schley on
Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs Robert H. Pearson will be the
most beautiful and brilliant social function
of any season past, and. given as it will be
in honor of the wife of the nations hero

be one of historical and notable interest.
The plans of the reception committee for
the entertainment of Admiral and
Mrs. Schley during the two days
that they will be the city's guests,
were arranged such an elaborate
scale that it seemed almost impossible to
include reception for Tuesday evening,
as at that time the admiral would be the
guest of honor at banquet at the Morris.
The luncheon that will be given the dis
tinguished guests at the Morris, upon their
arrival from Atlanta, and the brilliant din
ner party which has been arranged in their
nonor tomorrow evening, will give only a
ed Humber of persons the pleasure of
meeting Admiral and Mrs. Schley, and
while the admiral will hold an informal re-
ceptdon tomorrow evening at the Audito-
rlum, still there was an urgent demand on
the part of the social world for a special
reception to be given the charming wife of
the admiral
While the admiraPs health is being drunk
from loving cups at the banquet Tuesday
evening, Mrs. Sehley will be the guest of
honor at public reception at the home
of Mrs. Pearson, the president of the wo-
mans board of the Alabama state fair.

decorated with cut flowers and palms and
