JOHNSTON LETTER.
MIR. and Mrs. j. Lucas Walker
Celebrated Their 18th We'd
ding Anniversary With
Brilliant Reception.

On the evening of the 4th, from
8 to IL o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Lucas Walker celebrated their 18th
wedding anniversary, and the occa-
sion was marked with great beauty
and brilliancy. AS one drew near
the home, the effect was most pleas
ing; the long verandas were illum-
ed with japanese lanterns, and upon
entering, the scene was enhancing,
and the breath spring was upon
the air with the quantity of roses
the chief flower decoration. In the
hallway, where the stately palms
and ferns formed a background for
the guests, were Mesdames F. M.
Boyd, G. f. Pechman, J. H. White,
J. w. Marsh and Peter Eppes, who
received all and showed them into
the reception room where the re-
ceiving party stood. The color
scheme in here was pink, and roses
banked the mantel, and filled tall
vases, and soft pink lights were
used. With Mr.. and Mrs. Walker
stood Mrs. M. E. Parrish,
wife of the minister who officiated
at their marriage. Mrs. Walker
wore an exquisite costume of white
silk marquisette over white satin,
and the front of the corsage was
covered with seed pearls in pen
dants. She held a bouquet of white
roses, and appeared most winsome
and gracious young matron.
After good wishes had been ex-
pressed, the guests passed into the
dining room where they were re-
ceived by Misses Maud Nickerson
Mollie Waters, Lyle LaGrone and
Zena Payne, and were served with
an elaborate course, Misses Mary
Piekens snp, Maye Watson and
desdan3e d. sBlack, la. Do
'bey, e. r. III bIss Lott and
Joseph Wright, assisting. The room
was veritable garden of roses the
Madame Cochet being used, to car
ry out the color motif of pink.
From here all passed up into the
living room, where the array of
cut glass was displayed. Soft green
lights were used, and quantities of
General Jacqueminot roses carried
out the color idea. A priced gift was
from Mrs. M. A. Huiet and Miss
Eliza Minis, a cut glass bowl, and
was an heir loom IS years old.
Misses Elise Crouch, Marion Mob
ley and Pet LaGrone served all
with tutti-frutti cream, with black
fruit cake and BRIDES cake. In
corner of the room, Mrs. Minis
Walker held the registrar book and
pinned on the souvenirs, to the gen.
tlemen, dainty heart-shaped card,
hand painted, with a BRIDES like
ness and the date of the occasion,
and to the ladies, cards, with the
likeness of a groom. In vine-cov-
cred alcove on the front Miss Lou
ellie Norris presided over the punch
bowl, and this proved most at
tractive place.
The brides cake, a beautiful
affair, all covered in pink, upon a
table covered with cluny lace over
pink, was cut by the young ladies
and gentleman, before departure,
and several were apprized of their
fortune. To Prof. Curry, fell the
ring; to Miss Elise Crouch, the
thimble; to Mr.. Avery Bland, the
button; to Mr.. Frank Bland, the
key, and to Miss Lylei LaGrone the
penny.
Mr.. j. M. Turner went to Macon,
Ca, on Monday to attend the re-
union.
