most pleasing of social events of the
season was the reception given Tues
day evening by Messrs. and Mesdames
Willard e. Williams and Ottus

or Williams and bride. The event was
made Of double interest when it was
known that it was also placed upon
that date in honor of the seventy
eighth birthday of the grandmother of
Homer Williams, Mrs. Emily Williams
Of Milton.
On approaching Mr.. Williams hand
some home, North Central avenue, one
might have imagined the scene to be
one of Fairyland. The large. roomy
porched was wreathed in Japanese
lanterns that trembled in the evening
breeze and dropped their glittering
light upon the bevy of young people
beneath. Nor was the scene less en-
chanting within where 40 guests
were gracefully received by the Mas
tiers Olin Davis, James Crownover. and
the little Misses Francis Crownover OF
Milton and Catherine Margedant OF
Hamilton, O., relatives Of the groom,
and his bride, and who also acted as
flower children in the dining room in
presenting the favors.
In he parlor the decorations were
principally done in carnations and
golden hearted daisies. the brides COL
ors being yellow and white. These in
turn were relieved by ferns, smilax
and asparagus twining their green ton
drills amid the white flowers. Here
it was that Mr.. and Mrs. Homer VIII
lianfs received the congratulations OF
their guests, Mrs. Williams being
taste-ful1y gowned in blue satin over
meseline lining. To r. p. Lindsay be-
longed the honor of kissing the bride.
Passing from the parlors to the IL
brary the eye was greeted by the doc
orations in white with a lovely cen
ter piece formed of Rhea Reid roses
giving tinge OF red colHing to the
room.
Again passing from here into the
punch room one found the color red
prevailing. Here the Misses Miriam
Parldns, Marie Elwell, Dora and Edna
Wallace presided in simple grace, al
ternating as maids OF honor in the
lightfM. The table was % dscoe1ted
- to represent q field Of daisies. The
ruon was lighted by red shaded can
de3abfa that cast q rosy flush over the
daintily gowned ladies and gentlemen
in full evening dress. Favors were
white carnations.
