her valuable gift is still at our serv-

The dahIia, little known as aught but
a garden flower in past yeats, has come
into its own. and since it has become,
through skillful cultivation, so altogether
a blossom of grace. dignity and fragility,
it has been brought into the drawing room
this season, and bids fair to be the
fad" flower of autumn just as, a few
years ago, when the poinsettia was new,
as decorative agency, 1t was in evil
depce at almost every formal function of
a Birmingham mid-winter.
Mrs. Earle Drennen and Mrs. Houston
Davis, in planning for their lovely tea
yesterday afternon, used quantities of
these rarely beautiful flowers in beauti-
Tying the Davis residence. and not for
a long time has an afternoon tea riv-
allied this one for beauty and enjoyment
Big, velvety dahlias hung their heavy
heads over the rims of baskets hung in
the various apartments or stationed on
the mantels. The predominant color was
red, so that the first richly shaded leaves
of autumn combined well with the yellow
centered dahlias, and made surroundings
that were particularly charming under
the shaded lights of the rooms.
The hostesses had gathered their friends
about them to meet three guests of honor,
Mrs. Harden Fits, Miss Emma Read
Mitchell and Miss Fletcher McCarty.
whose marriage to Mr. Merle McElroy of
Orlando Fla. will occur tomorrow even
ingn This group, with Miss McCarty's
Two bridesmaids, Miss Ellen Dickerson
and Miss Mary Lee Drennen, stood in the
living room of the residence to welcome
the callers. Mrs Davis and Mrs. Dren-
men were delightfully."- pretty hostesses,
Mrs. Drennen wearing filmy, draped
frock of cream chiffon and net. and Mrs.
Davis in green crepe. The other mem-
bers of the receiving line were also beau
tifuly gowned.
In the reception hall Mrs Spier Whit
aker and Miss Fannie Drennen welcomed
the guests and served a delicious drink
from a punch bowl embedded in flowers
Here also Mrs. d. NJ. Drennen and Mrs
Walter Melville Drennen stood to extend
greetings to the callers.
In the dining room where tea, with It's
accompanying daintes, was served dur
ing the calling hour, a large basket hlled
with red dahlias gave the color sugges-
tior for the tea table delicacies. Ices and
bon-bons followed their bright hue Mrs.
Edward Tutwiler Jr., Mrs. r. ID. john
ston and Mrs. Walter Chew Phillips at
one end of the table and Mrs. Mercer
Rarnett and Mrs Ted Joy at the other,
served tea and an ice respectively. Cards
