it might be matter for which man.
ayers should be on the alert and not
compel their patrons to call several
ushers to the rescue.
Amid bowers of pretty blossoms, soft
glowing lights and surrounded by a
hose of admiring friends, Mrs. Seeley
w. Mudd of 1919 West Eighth street
entertained at an elaborate luncheon
and card party yesterday afternoon.
The affair was planned in honor of
Miss Mary Foster of Boston and guest
of Mrs Mudd. Miss Genevieve Smith
and Miss Belle Pusey of Louisville,
Ky, a trio of charming young women.
In each room an individual color was
used and lights were shaded to har-
monize with each.
Flaming poinsettias were gracefully
combined in the drawing room with
smilax AMI ferns, while the reception
hall was resplendent in pink blossoms
and lights. Here carnations were used
exclusively in large graceful clusters.
The dining room was a symphony in
yellow and violet. Overhead was a
canopy of feathery ferns. while the
buffet, sideboard and dining table were
frightened with clusters of violets and
jonquls. Favors for the guests were
clusters of the violets tied with
brightly colored gauze bows. After
luncheon hearts was played and scores
for the game were kept on heart-shaped
cards bearing the hostess monogram in
red, pink and gold.
The prizes were handsome, one being
a Tojetti cupid in a Florentine frame
and the second a heart-shaped candle
stick of French bronze and Dresden
china The third was a dainty plate
elaborately decorated with cupids.
In the course of the afternoon de-
, lightful music was rendered by Mrs.
j. M. Jones, harpist.
Mrs. Mudd was assisted in receiving
by her guests of honor and was attired
in handsome imported lace robe.
OF the many affairs in honor of Miss
Lila Fairchild and John G. Mott the
most brilliant has been the valentine
dancing party given at Kramer's last
evening by Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Jevne,
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Braly and Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Jevne.
The colors used in the decorations
were pink and green, which Miss Fair
child has chosen also for her wedding
appointments. In the reception halls
pink blossoms and ferns were COM
bined and the lights were shaded with
tiny pink roses In the ball room was
canopy of asparagus plumosus from
which was suspended pink hearts and
little Cupids. From the center was a
larger Cupid, surrounded by pink
pauze hearts.
The music stand was screened in
bambo and cattails, and above this in
floral design was part of the score OF
That's the Sweetest Story Ever Told -
About the balcony were garlands of
pink roses held in place by the tiny
gods of love. over the mirrors the
pink roses were used in sprays, and
these were pierced with gold and sill
ver darts.
In the banquet room were festoons
of smilax and yellow ribbons. Here
yellow fairy lights were used and the
large round table had for its center
piece a large basket of yellow daffo-
dis, which rested on a soft arrange
