Artistic Tea for Mrs. Van Hood
Tuscaloosa, Ala, Times-Gazette: |
The second of the series Of beau |
! tiful entertainments planned by Mrs. |
| William Alexander Collier in honor |
| OF her mother, Mrs. Van Hood of
| Ocala, Fla, occurred yesterday aft
ernoon and gave sincere pleasure to
| about fifty Tuscaloosa ladies. The
affair took the form of a tea and it
proved to be a distinctive function,
dainty in its every appointment and
artistically planned and executed.
The hall was abloom with violets
and early spring blossoms while
there was a veritable golden glow in
the drawing room from the quanti-
ties of daffodils and jonquils so Law
ishly used in the color scheme for
| this apartment Bowls and vases of
these radiant flowers smiled at one
from every hand and the walls were
festooned with southern smilax.
From this pretty room there was an
| cit iofn ho
dining room, where the tones were
all green and white.
Smilax trailed gracefully from cur
tains and walls while vases of white
carnations were placed artistically
here and there. The center table
was a delight to the eye. In the
center stood a cut glass basket filled
with white carnations and around it
was built fence, the rails of which
were made of green mint sticks and
over this confectionery fence climb
ed sweetpeas in CONNECTION form
Outside the sweet pea fence stood
numbers of little ibon-bon baskets,
made of marshmallows, the baskets
ing a cleverly made CONNECTION. The
centerpiece was a handsome Cluny
design and around the circular table
were numerous Cluny mats on which
stood crystal candlesticks holding
white tapers and adorned with white
carnations. Ropes of real smilax
daintily fell from candlestick to
candlestick, giving an exquisite touch
to the beautiful pictures
There was served in these beautiful
carried out the artistic white and
green idea. Chicken glace was serv-
ed in lettuce baskets, the handles of
which were tWined with smilax. A
p1stachio ice was served in baskets
made of spun candy in a beautiful
shade of green, the color of the con-
fectionery basket and the ice being
delicately contrasted. In the hall
were served coffee and rosette waf-
ers of a most delicious description.
