AN EASTER RECEPTION.

On Tuesday afternoon the resi-
dence of Mr.. Homer McClatchey was
transformed into a scene that would
have delighted an artist or a poet
The decorations were designed by Mrs
Henry Meinert. The flowers used were
white carnations, Gala lilies, ascen-
cion lilies and lilies of the valley
White candles in silver candelabra
and in crystal candle sticks were
used on mantels, cabinets and ped
estals. Ivey vines were used in pro
fusion with palms and ferns adding
their fresh verdure to the decorations
Carnations and Easter lilies were in
vases of various sizes and the electric
light fixture were draped with white
and green dew drop chiffon. Julia
Adelaide McClatchey and Isabel Nc
Clatchey received cards at the door
and callers were greeted by Mrs.
George Montgomery and Mrs. Will
DuPre. Those who ushered guests

ed satin, Mrs Marvin McClatchey,
in white, Mrs. D. F. McClatchey in
palest blue satin and white lace and
Mrs. Jim Welsh in light yellow silk
trimmed with white chiffon. All four

made by Mrs. Meinert, with one Eas-
ter lilly in the center surrounded by
lilies of the valley with their rich

Marschel Neil roses in softest yellow.

pink blossoms. Mrs ]. 7. Anderson

The round table in the dining room
had in the center an immense crystal
vase filled with ascencion lilies and
ferns and from the central electro

trays of sandwiches were on the table

AS the English society reporters
say, it was "a great success.
Every one regrets to lose Mrs.

for her new home in Rome. She is
one of the most sincerely beloved
ladies in Marietta and the memory
of her sweetness and gentleness will
