SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
An Autumn Reception.

An Autumn Reception.
The acme of everything handsome.
artistic and beautiful was attained by
Mrs. r. c. Church in her reception of
yesterday afternoon. The elegant
home was radiant; the sentiment of
Autumn prevailed, the colors thus in
PRODUCED scarlet, brown and green
combining WITH an effect of richness be-
yond comparison; red berries seemed
all the redder in the glow of the many
dimlnutive red candles, and autumn
suggestions, sometimes sombre, were
on this occasion marvelously brilliant
and attractive.
Mrs. Church was assisted in re-
ceiving by Mrs. G. A. Forgey,
Mrs. James Andrews Mrs. G. A. Par
ker and Mrs. A. p McFerrin. Miss
Annie Barrow served punch in the Ii
brary, and the guests were then invi-
ted to the finch tables, where seven in
teresting games were played. Refresh
ments were then served, the menu
comprising two courses of the most
delicious, beautiful and elaborate del
icacies that Nashville caterers could
furnish; never were acorns so beauti-
full and sweet to the palate as these,
composed, as they were, of the most
delicious creams and sherbets, and
never did the leaves of autumn wear a
richer hue than the large sherbet
leaves upon which the acorns rested.
These are mere suggestions.
