coy corner that Mrs. Henry
Schneider and Mrs. F. M. McDavid
presided over the coffee urn.
Throughout, the Lovan home is no
ticeable for it's harmonious blending
in wall hangings and furnishings.
These were not marred on this oc-
casion by any false notes, for the cut
flowers used by way of floral adorn-
ment were chosen so as to harmonic
perfectly with the tones of the ap-
pointments of the different suites of
rooms.
In the parlor, where the hostesses
and Mrs Brownlow welcomed their
callers, the colors that lent its beauty
so readily to this adoption was the
red carnation. 1t was in evidence
where ever a vase or bowl could be
placed, the color being heightened by
the pots of feathery green plants in
the back ground The lighted chan
delier subdued with red shades COM
pleted the effect. In the IL
brary large fluffy yellow chrys-
anthemums and ferns were lavishly
used. The ferns, occupying the up
per book shelving around the room
had cascade effect and cleaned here
and there with the long stemmed
chrysanthemums. The lights were
shaded with yellow.
The dining room had for its motif
white and green. The round polish
ed table held in it's center a huge
wicker basket, filed with an immense
cluster of white chrysanthemums and
sword ferns. These branched out to
such an extentthat the fronds of ferns
touched the edges of the table and
permitted of no other decoration but
two cut glass candelabras filled with
green tapers. The young ladies' serv-
ing were Miss Mary Tefft, Miss Nell
Ross, Miss Reta Hatten and Miss Lulu
