added greatly to the charm of the
reception.

parties of the season was that at
which Mrs. Irwin G. Shepard and
Mrs. William C. Hobby entertained
at the latter's home on Dominis
street yesterday afternoon.
About nine tables were contested,
amid rare and fragrant tropical
ferns and flowers.

of Mrs. Hobby were most beautifully
decorated, the lanai and entrance be-
ing fanked by hanging baskets and
palms.
The card tables were arranged IN
the reception room, dining room and
library.
The library was dressed in rich
tones of crimson, huge bronze iardin-
ieres on pedestals and hammered
brass bowls blossoming with innum-
cradle tall groups of red cannas, ana
myriads of dainty clusters of blood
red begonia sprays.
White and lavender were the pas
tel shades selected for the reception
room, baskets and jars brimful Of
vari-toned lavender and white asters,
interspersed with fluffy maidenhair,
being enhancing.
The dining room fairly bloomed
with La France roses and pink be-
gonias, every nook and corner boast
ing a side table laden with baskets
and cloisonne vases whence tumbled
these exquisite blossoms.

Gaintiness and fragrant charm, and
many very interesting rubbers of
bridge were contested, resulting
finally in the presentation of the
handsome prizes.
These were dainty evening fans OF
ivory, lace and seouins. and they wera
awarded to Mrs, Lakeland, Mrs. SUIT
ton, Mrs, Blackman, Mrs. Thomas
