Mrs. H. o. Garvey's luncheon today
1 Tor Miss Anna Hoch, was the first of a
/ number of entertainments to be given
i Tor the governors daughter before her
marriage to Mr.. James W. Reid of
Chanute, which will take place at the
Governors House New Years day. The
table, with covers for IA was uncom-
monty pretty and a clever decorative
| scheme was carried out with most sue
cessful results. On a low white dais in
in the center of the board were two
hgurinas. a bride and bridegroom, in
full wedding dress, complete to the last
detail, even to the brides shower bou-
quet, and the bridegroom boutonniere.
The doll bride was a blonde like the
real bride whom she typified, and the
groom was a brunette like Mr.. Reid.
They trod a path of fern leaves and
rose petals and over them, suspended
from the chandelier and descending
around them like a mist was the we'd
ding veil, dotted with orange blossoms
which was worn by Mrs. Garveys sis
ter. Mrs. Charles F. Spencer, at her
wedding, the anniversary of which the
luncheon also served to celebrate. The
chandelier had pink wedding bell
shades and shower of rose petals
over the veil completed a beautiful
canopy for the centerpiece. The place
cards were in the form of wedding
bells with water color sketches and ap-
propriate quotations done by Mrs.
Spencer and were strung on pink rib
bon and, at the close of the luncheon
gathered into souvenir booklet for the
bride, whose luncheon card, with
saucy Cupid. formed the cover. Toasts
to the bride were given at the close
of the luncheon and an informal must
Gale programme followed. The invi-
tations included Mrs. Homer Hoch,
Miss Edna Hoch, Miss Daisy Neil, Miss
Gertrude Clevenger, Miss Josephine
Lynch, Miss Irna Doster. Miss ,Berenice.
