Mountain Terrace in compliment TO her
daughter, Mrs John B. Oates of Char

Miss Jettaileen Farley of Montgomery,
the guest of Mrs. w. Winans Freeman.
Color seems almost a matter of con-
tagion, since after an all red motive
which has continued for weeks. inspired
by the Yuletide celebration, everything
yesterday with but an occasional ex-
ception followed the pink and white which
is always SO pretty and becoming as a
decorative motif. Mrs. Webbs use of the
combination was especially attractive.
The flower was chosen for its color
rather than for its name, SO she had all
of the seasons prettiest Just SO they be
couleur de rose There were carnations
of the beautiful enchantress type, and
spicy and beautiful as could be; there
were azaleas, growing their sturdy
stalks and richly pink; roses leaned from
slender vases or filled graceful baskets,
and pink hyacinths breathed out their
haunting perfume in hall or living room.
So the surroundings were perfect, and
the charm of some of the most cordial
women in the city augme0ted that of the
lovely hostess and her honorees. The sum
shine of the afternoon brought out many
callers, and in their smartest gowns. This
pretty tea.
In the living room Miss Kathleen Van
