WoMAANNc ANc,nrv
BY PAUL PRY. Kettie Reception.

No more elegant or delightful affair was ever given in Birmingham than the re- ception last evening from to 12 at the home of Mir. and Mrs. William Henry Kettig on the South Highlands. Over 800 invitations were issued and all during tho appointed hours the house was thr onged with the most prominent members of the social set
 The large veranda had been enclosed with canvass and this gave roominess to the already spacious home. Every par ticle of the white canvass and every available space of the house was artis- tically hung with graceful bamboo and with nodding chrysanthemums, dimly shaded lamps and candelabra, the scene was beautiful indeed In the front hall white chrysanthemums were most effec- lively used against the rich red color ing of the furnishing. Here Misses Leedy Anna Morrow. Daisy Moody and Lura Brown welcomed the guests as they ar :. rived. In the parlors pink was the color note. and the fireplaces were banked with a profusion of pink chrysanthe,nuns Here MT. and Mrs. Kettig received their guests. Mrs. Kettig is one of the most and on last evening was cordial and gra- cious as she always is.
 Mrs Kettig wore an exquisite gown of white pann-crepe de chene over pink taf- feta, the skirt had a deep accordion plaited fiounce and was nicked between broad insertions of white cscurial lace. The low-cut bodice was artistically draped with the same lace and tiny ruch- ings of white and pink modsselne. The deep yoke and collar were of shirred white mousseliEe, with touches of pink. Mrs. Kettig was here assisted by Mes- danes Edward W. Barrett, F. Y. Andcr- son, Rufus N. Rhodes, Walker Percy, L. A. Shipman. Charles Locke. Allen W. Haskell and Robert Temison.
 In the dining room the decorations were all pink and green. On the center of the artistically arranged table was large gilded basket in which pink chry- santhemums were placed in profusion with delicate green asparagus entwined Pink tapers in dainty pink shades werc at each corner, and little pink Parisiar bon boas in flower shapes were between Ms. F. G. Stevens was in charge anc the refreshments were not only suhstan. tial, but pleasing.
 The salad was served in dainty pink and green cases. and the oyster patties were moulded to represent little fishes Mesdames Ben Moore, Harry Jones and Coleman presided. At the coffee urn near by was Mrs. N. E. Barker. On the sidC veranda, which was spacious and most cozily furnished with divans and soft cushions, and reached through low win dows from library and dining room, the ices were served. Mesdames W. w. Craw- ford, A. L. Fulenwider and T. Fl. Al drich, Jr., served the ice In flower shapes from a large pink and green candy bas- ket. In the alcove of the veranda Mes. danes John Tomlinscn, Jack Johnston Richard Randolph and Henry Gray pre- sided most graciously at the flowing bow of champagne.
 An orchesra furnished music whicl | completed an affair that was perfect II every detail.
