 By Newport Society.

home of Mir. and Mrs. J. H. McHugh,
 where a reception followed in honor
 of the newly wed. From one's first
 entrance to this attractive home, which had been decorated by an
 artists tasteful eye and woman's
 dexterOus hand with flowers and
 greenery, carrying out the original
 color scheme of the church decora
 tions, the guest could hardly help but
 stand bewildered and let the eye
 revel upon the scene of beauty, ami
 mated by feminine fairness in charm ing toilets and handsome men in evening dress.
 The hall, parlor, library and re- ceptlon room were fragrant with the perfume of carnations used with fern to advantage set. The receiving party were Mesdames J. H. McHugh and T. E. Morrison, Misses Roberta and Mamie Morrison, who were gracious and painstaking in their evidences of hospitality.
 Manuel's string band rendered ex- cellent music and the punch bowl in the hall, about which were artistically arranged manifestations of the pre- dominating colors, was presided over by Misses Beatrice McHugh and Hazel Jones.
 Entering the reception room to the left of the hall, one was confronted with most handsome array of cost ly and beautiful presents, too many and too varied to mention, embracing furniture, cut glass, silver and china War9.
 In the bay window of the parlor, the bride and groom received the con- gratulations and good wishes of in vited friends, whose compliment and good will were voiced in pretty rhetoric and timely thought.
 Yet none of these rooms had re- ceived that attention of the decora- tors hand accorded the dining room. From the chandelier hung from the center of the ceiling, silk net stream CTS wrapped about with maiden hair fern, reached to the corners of the table, upon which rested candelabra, over which were shades of honey suckle vine that kept continually in mind the beauty of the color scheme. The table was enriched by large and handsome centerpiece of Battenburg over Nile green. A huge boquet of white roses and fern in cut glass bowl rested upon mirror in the center to make the beauty of this table perfect.
 Refreshments of brick cream in green and white, cake and peppermints was nicely served by colored walters. The bride and groom drank from a silver goblet that has quite history and is an old family heirloom, having been presented to the brides grandfather Robert |. Morrison as wedding present from seventy-f five young ladies.
 Mrs. J. H. McHugh received in a white organdie, trimmed in Valen- ciennes lace.
 Mrs. T. E. Morrison was handsome in white organdie trimmed in thread lace.
 Mrs. Maud Marshall wore a beauti- full white organdie, trimmed with white satin ribbon and with roses in her hair.
