/
Allen to Miss Lorraine Williams.
The palatial home of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. Ellington Morris was the scene Of
beautiful and elaborate luncheon to-
day given in honor Of Miss Lorraine
Williams. The interior OF the house
was adorned with profusion of love
ly blossoms, handsome ferns and pot
plants. The guests were greeted in
the reception hall by Mrs. Ellington
Morris and her young daughter, Alice.
Promptly at one o'clock an orchestra
which was hidden among ferns in the
conservatory, began the strains Of Lo-
hengrin's wedding march, and the
guest we're ushered into the dining
room. The color scheme of green and
white prevailed throughout the entire
decorations of this room. The table
was beautiful, laid with a handmade
crochet luncheon set. In the center
was a handsome bridal bouquet the
showers from which fell carelessly
over the entire table, and the soft
glow of the candles through the bride
rose shades added to the splendor OF
the decorations. Cards of hand.tinted,
miniature brides and grooms marked
the places for sixteen by Miss Lo-
raine's most intimate friends. Just
as the guests were seated little
bisque cupid descended from the cell
ing, in one hand was a little brides
shower bouquet and in the other an
announcement, from which Mrs. Nor
ris read:
Mr. John Rivers Allen, Miss Lorraine
Williams, November 4, 1918.
Then in her gracious and charming
manner, she toasted the bride,
May your love and affection ever
descend. gentle Lorraine,
Until rivers bank shall overflow with
: happiness"
In behalf of her absent brother and
her new sister, Miss Sarah Allen OF
Bryan, very wittily responded with a
toast to the hostess.
Amid the continued strains of the
orchestra the guest did fine justice
to the following:
Fruit Cocktail
Cream Of Celery Soup Waters
Tenderioin of Trout Saratoga Chips
Tartar Sauce Heart Sandwich
Roast Turkey Dressing
French Peas

young lady, Miss Morris, has suffered
a great loss through the reckless
