COLONEL AND MRS. BLAIR

The reception celebrating the silver
wedding of Col. and Mrs Daniel Web
ster Blair was an event of social inter-
est and brilliancy beyond expression.
The elegant and spacious house, so
beautifully situated on Cherokee
street, had been transformed into bow
ers of green foliage by Mrs. Montgom-
cry and Mrs. Read, assisted by other
neighbors and friends.
The reception hall was arranged
with magnolia leaves, ivy, ferns and
white candles on the cabinets. The
table with the punch bowl was in a
corner beside the tall mahogany clock
and was decorated with vines and
malaga grapes.
The parlor, with it's olive green Dor
there's and rugs, was all in green and
silver, with a big wedding bell of
white blossoms suspended from the
wide doorway between the silken
draperies, on which shone the dates
1SS5-1910 in big silver figures. The
lights of the central electrolier were
shaded in green and hidden in smilax
From 1t long streamerS of silvery It's
sue extended to the corners of the
room. The mantel was banked with
ferns and white candles, and on each
side fine begonias and ferns made a
background for the receiving party.
The adjoining room, where refresh
ments were served, was in green and
pink, on mantel and cabinets, and the
round table had a battenburg lace
cover over pink, a vase of trademarks
rosebuds in the center, silver candle
sticks with pink candles and shades
balls of pink spun candy amid gar
Glands of smilax and silver dishes of
pink minis and almonds The cleo
trolier was draped in smilax and the
lights shaded in pink.
The hall was in green and crimson,
and the room in which the presents
were arranged was deliberately decked

doors and windows, Christmas bells
and profusion of poinsettia blossoms.
An immense Christmas bell hung I'M
der the electrolier, from which gar
lands of holly leaves and berries eX-
tended to the corners of the room. On
three long tables the lovely gifts were
placed, and the happy bride was as
appreciative of the simplest little
thimble as she was of the handsomest
trays and pitchers Her three broth !

yer dish and a serving ladle.
