on of the most artistic hostesses
among Birmingham younger matrons
Is Mrs Thomas Bowron. Her enter
tainments, however, informal, are dis
Mn guished for a touch of originality

ter. Mrs. Henry Dean, whose talent
for decorating is quite raved over

for the various summer resorts MIS-.
Bowron's home lends itself splendldiy
to decoration, the soft tones of tapes
tries and draperies harmonizing well
with the dainty tints of flowers. Iail
vases were filled with half-bloWn PINK
roses and bowls of valley lilies en-
phasized the delicacy of the flowers

colored ice was presided over by MIS-
owen Gillespy. Roses and lilies OIL
the valley peeped out from beneath
the punch bowl. The bonbon table was
beautiful with it's lace cover in the
center of which was a basket filled with
half blown Killarney roses. The pink
color effect was emphasized in a large
bow of rose-tinted ribbon perched on
the high handle and a similar bow of
pink ribbon rested on the white cover.
