 There Is no more genial host in society than MT. Matthews, and his clever wife shares his accomplishment, adding to IL an artistic taste which is in evidence in each of the original and beautiful func- tins over which she presides. Their din- ner table was one of the most beautiful ever seen in Birmingham. The cloth which covered it WAS yelled with a net work of the most delicate smilax, while the color, which shed a becoming and in viting radiance over the board, was rose pink In the center was a flower design wonderful in effect. Four cornucopias filled with clusters of fragrant narcissi surrounded a taller vase, which over- flowed with Killarney roses. These graceful receptacles were gold match ing the baskets standing at either end of the table filled with Chinese lilies, SfIlldX ana plDK carnatlOnS.
 At each cover was a lovely pink basket filled with sated almonds and making the most attractive of place favors. At intervals stood single candlesticks sur mounted by pink shades and tied with saucy bows of pink satin ribbons. The place cards only were marked with the monogram of the hostess, but in a num- Der of the courses of the excellently ap- pointed dinner the color tones were in ev- idenoe. The ices were pink and the cakes embossed with pink carnations, while comports filled with bon bons showed only the pink motive
