RECEPTION

/
most recherche reception in compli-
ment to her sister-in-law, Mrs. James
! J. Taylor, and her guest, Miss Maude
Kennerly, of Palatka, both of whom
are exceedingly charming young wo-
men, and both were exquisitely gown
| ed Mrs Taylor wore soft gray sat
| in dress, with an invisible white stripe,
beautifully trimmed in gray lace and
gray bands embroidered in beads with
tiny touch of black. Miss Kennerly
wore stunning cream lace dress over
cream satin, trimmed with embroider-
ed bands of the satin. The hostess
was gOwned in green silk, with lace
and bead trimmings. Receiving with
them were Misses Margaret and Ma
mic Taylor, sisters-in-law of the host
ess and of one of the honor guests.
Miss Taylor wore a very pretty pale
blue crepe de chene and Miss Mamie
Taylor's gown was an exceedingly
handsome one of yellow crepe de
chene over yellow satin, made on
most becoming model. 1t was trim
med in gold lace and beads and yell
low satin.
Mrs. Charles Rheinauer met the
guests at the front door and in the
pretty bay window the punch table
, was placed. Those who graced the
table were Mrs w. K Zewadski and
Mrs. Allan Walkley. The table was
prettily arranged with ferns and the
palest pink camelias, which were per-
feet in their wax-like purity and beau
ty Miss Alice Bullock, who was very
lovely in pale yellow, invited the
guests to the punch table, and after
lingering there for a few moments
they went into the parlor, where the
receiving party stood.
Mrs. Charles H. Lloyd and Miss Bes-
sic MacKay asked the guests into the
back parlor, where Mrs. Harvey Clark
introduced them to a bevy of very
pretty visiting girls, who were receiv-
ing in that room. They were Miss Jul
liza Stewart of Daytona, Miss Mamie
Wilcox of Gainesville and Misses Flos-
sic and Matte Cad Gardner, all four
of whom looked very sweet and dain-
ty in attractive party frocks.
In the back hall Mrs E. L. Carney
and Mrs. Jack Rentz met the guests
and showed them into the dining room
which was most artistic in its decora-
lions. In the center of the room was
a table, charming in its appointments,
and still more charming in the ladies
sitting at it and in those serving. On
the table was a large linen cloth, very
lelaborately and beautifully embroider-
ed in daisies, all of which was the fin
ger work of the hostess. The center
of the table was marked by a glass
reflector bordered with a pretty ar
rangement of violets, which was sup
plemented with a low bowl of violets
in it's center. Here from silver tea
pot and chocolate pot Mrs. Richard S.
Hall and Mrs. B. w. Mimms served
the tea and chocolate. Mrs. Hall wore
a very beautiful gown of yellow satin,
yelled with black chiffon, and elabor-
ately embroidered in self tones and
trimmed with wide bands of black
Chantilly lace. Mrs. Mimms wore
green and white striped silk, bow
of cerese colored velvet, giving a pref
ty touch to the corsage. She also wore
cerese velvet ribbon in her hair
The plates were very attractive and
were passed by Misses Mary Burford,
Alta Pearson, Beulah Hall and Jo
sephine Bullock. These young girls
were just as dainty and sweet as it
is possible for young and pretty girls
to be. On the plates were sandwich
es olives, tiny carrot made of cheese,
tea or chocolate and pink and yellow
roses, filed with buttercups and lime
minis.
Mrs. G. S. Scott, mother of the host
ess, aided in the entertaining of her
daughters guests most charmingly.
In the rear hall little Miss Marie
Burnett and Miss Lille Bailey played
continuously during the receiving
hours, the music being greatly en-
joyed.
There is no place where there are
prettier homes nor more charming
people, consequently there is no place
where the hostess of a large function
feels more at ease regarding the re-
suit on the occasions when she bids
her friends partake of her hospitality.
The many lovely women present Fri
day afternoon in their parti colored
tints of silk and satin gowns demon
strated most clearly this pleasant fact
and Mrs. Taylor's party was lovely
event.
