home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas H. Viii.
liams, was the scene of one of the
most elaborate and beautiful enter

when Mr.. and Mrs. Williams enter
tanned in honor of their daughter,
Irene, who has just returned from
Europe and of Miss Mary Dale Fig

month for a visit to Europe. There
are few handsomer or more delight

for entertainments on a large scale

and the wide spreading lawn are ar
ranged for entertaining as was the

house is commodious, comfortable,
cool and well-kept and is surrounded
by large lawn, studied with stately
forest trees, under whose graceful
branches the green sward is as we'll |

miniature lake and well-preserved !
roads wind among the trees and /
lead to the stately mansion that
sits on gentle elevation. The scene
at any time is one of rare delight, but
was this true Friday night
when the scene had been laid for the
entertainment of the hundred or more

and graceful hospitality of the home
over which Mr.. and Mrs. Williams
have presided for many years.
