MRS. BosToN's RECEPTION.

AiSA A1ACAoS 1AuASu TIC ~, lIOtu
! to 6, was one of the most beautiful
in detail and artistic appointments
ever seen in Marietta. AS the recep-
ton was somewhat in the nature of
an old-fashioned house-warming, it
being the first given since Capt. and
Mrs. Boston have moved into their
handsome new residence, the entire
house was thrown open to their
friends.
The lower floor was converted into
I a scene of rare beauty by the use OF
tropical palms, and myriads of
lights gave a fairylike illumination.
, Over the high French windows ami
doors hung the Southern smilax N
graceful profusion and the French
doors were used as trellis over
which the smilax climbed. In the
drawing-room, where the guests were
received, the color tone of yellow was
carried out in the shaded lights AMI
great vases of golden chrysanthe-
NUNS, these blending with color of
walls and brocaded draperies of the
windows
Mrs. Boston received her guests in
Frenchy creation of blue and pink,
with a color tone of gold. The silk
crepe --, which had a border OF
blue and gold, was draped over Il
skirt of pink charmeuse. The cor
sage was embroidered in rhine
stones, which also sparkled in the
buckles which confined the sash at
back and front. She carried al
armful of white and pink chrysan-
themums

Mrs. Joseph NJ. Brown, Mrs. Paul
Akin, of Gainesville; Mrs. T. A.
Hutchinson, of Monticello; Mrs.
Moultrie M. Sessions, Mrs. B. Mills

Beyond the drawing-room and
opening into it was the conservatory,
where the orchestra was concealed
with luxurious palms and ferns.
The purity of white and green was
carried out in the decorations and
made it an ideal place for the soft
strains of the stringed instruments.
In the punch-room, where a beau
tiful group of girls served, the deco
rations were pink carnations IN
crystal baskets on bookcases AMI
mentel and from the French win
dows hung red Colonial baskets

els Conally, of Atlanta; Miss Alice
Wellons, Miss Ira Mayes, Mrs.

The dining-room was ideal in its
beauty. The large circular table was
beautifully appointed, the central
decoration being a gilt French ba5-
ket of red carnations, tied with red
tulle. The brass candlesticks held
shaded candles on table, buffets and
mantel, with the smaller gilt bas-
kets of carnations. The color tone
was carried out in the minis and
shading of electric lights.
