WHITE SULPHUR

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
VA. Sept. MANY have been the
dinner parties. iuncheons and bridge
games during the past week, every
one seeming to vie with everyone else
for the honor of giving the most
beautiful affair. but perhaps the most
elaborate as well as uniquely artistic
dinner was that given Monday night
by Miss Valerie Padeiford. of Wash
-ington, In homer of the departure of
Mrs. Schuyler Leggett. of New York,
who, with Mr.. Iseggett, has been
spending the season here. both young
people being very popular with every
one at the springs.
Although the affair was given in
the cafe, II was hard for the guests
to realize that they were not dining
In wonderous1y beautiful log cabin.
which effect was obtained by 1nclosing
the space about the round table with
natural tree trunks. The logs which
formed the roof were interviewer
with vines, from which hung great
clusters of white tiny electric lights,
red, blue and white glistened like SO
flaming red sage. From the crimson
mound OF flowers in the center of the
table rose great bouquet of Ameri-
can Beauties. and corsage bouquets
OF red roses and lilies Of the valley
were at the place Of each woman,
and buttonhole bouquets of the same
flowers for the men. The scarlet tulle
about the bouquets were later pinned
upon the right shoulder Of each man
by his fair partner and odd indeed
did they look as the couples danced
later In the ball room. Those pres
ent were: Mr.. and Mrs. Schuyler
Leggett, New York: Mrs. Julia KEEL
logg Bradley. Washington: Miss Mary
Moulton. Richmond: Miss Kate Mott.

Mrs Barton Grundy, of Richmond,
gave an old fashioned country supper
Tuesday night. the guest of honor
being Mrs. c. d. Wernwag, OF
Bethayres. Pa, the guests going
in automobiles. One OF the most de-
lightful features Of the AGAR was its
absence of formality.
Just why Jack" Lory, OF New
York, was rendered a coming out
party was not stated by the host and
hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Thornton Lewis,
Of Cincinnati, for he must have seen
many debutante through her first
party, but when about thirty guests
gathered under the great oak trees
at The Meadows" as the Lewis home
is known. everyone greeted him as
Enthusiastically rs though he were
making his first blushing bow to so
ciety, and the nsrriast- -lafta of n time
was enjoyed, the guests partaking of
supper at twilight served on the
lawn under the century old trees.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett r. Wall, of
Richmond, gave an impromptu
luncheon Sunday. after returning
from an informal party at the. cot
tage Of George. w. Stevens. president

the feature of which was the pre-
sentatien of a wonderful bouquet
composed of the common or garden
variety" OF vegetables, wound about
with tinfoil from numerous cham
payne bottles to add to the beauty of
the gift. This Mr. Lory refused to
part with and on the automobile ride
to THE Meadows,'' which followed
