An unwonted pleasure was given to so- ciety yesterday when Mrs. Dan T. Smith threw open her home in Avondale to coterie of friends. whom she invited to meet her niece, Mrs. J. A. Emory. Car riages and cars filled with fashionably gowned women passed to and from the pretty residence during the hours of the entertainment. and suggested the progress of some dainty affair of feminine inter est along the route to Avondale. The residence was decorated in flowers appro- priate to. tie season. canopy of jon tqui1s and greenery hung over the punch bowl in the first parlor and in the Sec ond one a coffee table stood. Above the bonbon table was suspended a shower of white hyacinths, and on the table was a green basket filled with ferns and flow CTS. This rested on a white Cluny lace piece and handsomely embroidered cloth with 0 red rose design also ornamented the table,. Tulle was tied in great bow on the handle of the basket and the marshmallow bonbons and hints er- bossed with tiny roses gave the last touch in the finished beauty of the table.
 Mrs smith wore handsome black re- ception gown built of marquisette and velvet with embellishments of rose point lace. Her corsage bouquet was of pink roses. Mrs. Emory, who is a very pretty young matron, was in green charmeuse and her corsage bouquet was of pink roses There were several friends of Mrs Smith assisting her to receive each of whom appeared in some fashionable re- ception costume.
