reception. 1t is suggestive in every fea-
ture of the generous hospitality of the
host and hostess. There are no more de-
lightful places in Birmingham to visit
than these Graymont homes of old JEFF
ferson county families, the Smiths and
the McDavds, and the Greenes and the
Terrels, nor is any more prodigal of It's
welcome than the one which extended its
hospitality yesterday afternoon.
Wistaria and roses made rich and
delicate setting for the scores of women
who motored cat from town to drink
cup of tea with Mrs. McDavid and her
honorees; the lavendar of the wistaria
and the pink of Killarney, La France,
cochet and tea roses made combina-
ton rarely beautiful. Draped over the
arches separating room from room; over
windows and festooning the hangings OF
both windows and doors, blooming wis
taria vines hung their clusters with
a sumptuousness to suggest Jap
anese tea garden. The mantels, over
which wistaria hung like fringe, held
baskets of pink blossoms, this basket
effect throughout the house heightening
the beauty of an ensemble artistic. In
the drawing room Mrs. McDav1d ana a
group of friends received the callers.
Gowned in blue satin messaline, with sill
yer garnitures the hostess was very love
ly: her vivacity and gay welcome max
ing the occasion charming for all. Miss
McDavid, who stood with her, looked
most distinguished in a lavendar recep-
ton gown and Mrs. wilkins in gray crepe
meteor with pearls was charming. Mrs
Walter in pompadour silk. was much adj
mired.
An attractive group standing with the
hostess and honorees included Mrs. Rob-
err MeDavid, Miss Sadie Gillespy Mrs
Grover Thaxton and Mrs. Mason billiard.
The guests were greeted in the recep-
ton room by Mrs. Charles DeBardeleben
Mrs. Daniel L. Greene, Mrs. Richard
Johnston, Mrs. Richard Randolph, Mrs
