Mrs. Rhodes Brilliant
Reception Yesterday Afternoon

A notably beautiful event in the world of
fashion was the afternoon reception which
Mrs. Rufus Napolean Rhodes gave yester-
day from to o'clock. The occasion
brought together brilliant assembly of
Birmingham women, and was altogether
one of the most charming affairs of the
winter
The handsome house, which has so fire.
quently been thrown open to the social
world, was decorated with roses, carnations
and snilax. The drawing room, where the
guests were first received, was beautifed by
pink roses in slender cut glass vases. SIM
gle vases filled with carnations were placed
on the mantels, while in the library beyond,
the cabinets and mantels were ornamented
with red roses in tall cut glass vases. Smi-
lax trailed over the cabinets, and the beau
tiful stairway beyond, at the entrance of
which a delicious punch was served.
The dining room with its exquisite fur
nish.ngs, was decorated with pink roses. A
lace square over pale green satin covered
the table, and in the center was a circular
mirror. framed with delicate ferns and
quantities of pink roses. On the mirror
rested a silver candelabra, the tapers being
pink. The effect was charming, and the
entire apartment, which is one of the most
beautiful in Birmingham, presented a scene
of great brilliancy. A buffet luncheon was
served, and band played delightfully."- dur
ing the receiving hours.
Mrs. Rhodes looked particularly radiant
in a gown of Renaissance lace over white
silk She was assisted in receiving by Mrs.
r. II. Rhodes of Washington, D. c.; Mrs.
Robert Jemison. Mrs. John w. Tomlinson,

after that" she continued, 1.-The girl was
one of the greatest favortes of the month
that she remained, and the man who first
convinced her that she was a belle de-
clares that she owed her popularity to him.
The question of inviting congenial guests
was discussed by one of the women, who
entertains great deal at small affairs,
and they all agreed that the success of
dinner party or luncheon does not always
depend upon the menu, and one woman
present said that the following description
in regard to formal dinner parties applied
to more cases than one: Distracted host
esses have too often realized this fact and
maryeled that the costliest dishes eEd wines
should have been eaten and drunk IN that
comparative silence which betokens that
dinner is not adding lustre to the giver of
the feast On the other hand, eHsn indif-
ferent banquets may go with eclat and
linger pleasantly in the memory of those
who dined. We all know the secret of sue
cess and the explanation of failure. The
right people must be asked If the one is to
be achieved; but let the guests be uncon-
genial and the other is inevitable.

bravado that after such words from her
any dazzling thoughts that might have
been stored away had taken flight, and ne

A young woman in the group recalled a

society man.
one of the club receptions, a visiting girl
was apparently meeting with a failure in
regard to belleship. She was a charming
girl, and there were number of men who
made an effort to be especially attentive,
but for some reason, the girl was not very
responsive, and one by one the men drift
ed to gayer groups. She really had all the
qualities required of belle, and yet for
this one evening, she was not social sue
cess. She seemed to be conscious that she
was failure, and yet she had every reason
to expect to be the belle of the evening
Finally one of the handsomest men in the
room walked over to where she sat. He
had been taking in the situation for some
time, and actually had been discussing the
girl in the most cold blooded way.
He told her in his graceful way that she

more successful method of loosening the

would probably be provocative of much
