Miss Mary AIcAIaster of Memphis, the
guest Of Mrs. Sterling Foster, and Miss
Margaret Miles of Montgomery, who is
visiting Mrs. Richard Johnston, shared
the courtesy yesterday when Mrs. Albert
Halsey Ford entertained u girls at lunch
con at her lovely new home.
Mr.. and Mrs Fords home has just
been completed, and is one of the most
beautiful on the South Highlands. Con-
structed on an oddly shaped lot, it has
been adapted in form to meet the con-
tour of the grounds, and is thus novel
and altogether attractive from an archi-
tectural viewpoint Its interior decora-
tion manifests Mrs. Fords excellent taste
The young women whom Mrs. Ford
asked to meet Miss Miles and Miss Le-
Master were Miss Elizabeth Bowie, Miss
Marjorie Weatherly. Miss Emmie Barnett,
Miss JOY Tomlinson. Miss Florence Cof-
fin, Miss Evelyn Glass, Miss Lillian Orr,
Miss Edith Bowron. The dining room
which is front apartment, is separated
from the central hall by means of wide
glass doors, and is one of the most at
tractive in the house. The large table
about which the party met yesterday had
a big green basket in the center filled
with deep pink rosebuds The candles
which surrounded it were under quaint
French shades painted in roses, and at
each plate was nosegay of spring flow
ers.
The name cards were delightful water
color sketches of girls. each with hat
made of an overturned blossom-fuchsias,
buttercups, roses and sweet peas making
clover suggestions for millinery. The ices
were nodded in the form of pink roses,
and IN other details of the delightful
luncheon the spring notion was also pre-
valent.
Mrs. Ford welcomed her guests wear
ing pretty luncheon gown of light mes
saline. Miss LeMaster, who is one of the
stunning visitors who are receiving es-
pecal attention just now, was. beautifully
attired, her becoming gown made OF
shadow laces in a clever draped fashion,
and her hat, one of the dropping Sort
veiled with pompadour chiffon and graced
with a cluster of French plumes in the
hack. Miss Florence Coffin was one of
the prettiest girls at the luncheon, her
broad pink hat having a tam-o-shanter
brim and a nosegay of forgetmenots
tucked beneath the brim close to her face
Her gown had a smart little blue coat and
was worn with white shirt. Miss JOY
Tomlinson wore a modish brown char
meuse gown and quaint little hat en-
circled with brown and yellow pansies.
Miss Barnett's French blue eponge coat
suit and white chapeau made one or the

others of the party were also delightfully."-
attired.
