The home of MT. and Mrs James Bow ron, which is an ideal place for extending a hospitality of any kind, was the scene last night of one of the prettiest events in it's history, when Miss Edith Bow ron was the hostess at a lawn party for Miss Lucille Gaston Many elaborate and beautiful functions have been given at the Bowron home at some of which were hundreds of guests, the various hand some apartments a vertable floral pie ture, music from an orchestra of trained musicians floating from among screen ing palms and matrons and maids richly gowned and elaborately coiffured, trall- ing their graceful draperies within it's stately domains. Last evening the prin- cpal charm was in the informality and graceful simplicity. There was not large assembly, those invited by the hostess including only the Jordan-Gaston bridal party, some of the relatives of Miss Gaston and Dr. Jordan and a very few friends, the number not even ap- preaching a hundred.
 The lawns and gardens were atwinkle with Japanese lanterns, hung among the trees whose foliage adds so much to the beauty of the home. The nights perfect beauty made the al fresco features ideal, the interior of the house being forsaken for the cool lawns. An outdoor musi- cale gave an additional charm, a number of songs being rendered by quartet of young men.
 Miss Bowron was a gracious and love ly hostess. She was attractively gowned for the evening in pink lingerie, made in a fashion notably becoming. Her guest of honor, Miss Gaston, looked love- ly in a lingerie costume made over blue
