ly appointed party this afternoon from

ment to Miss Josephine Van Bullock,
whose marriage will be a beautiful
event of the twenty-ffth.
The decorative scheme developed
throughout the house was the combi-
nation of motifs suggestive Of the
valentine season and brides, and so
effectively was it carried out in a
pink and white color note that pleas
ant remarks were occasioned on all
sides.
From the chandeliers twined with
asparagus fern fell shower of in
Vulnerable pink hearts of various sizes
intermingled with fluffy bows of pink
tulle. The lights were shaded in pink
and gorgeous pink and white roses in
vases and baskets were placed in all
of the rooms The grill work be-
tween the reception hall and living
room was interlaced with roses and
fern, and amidst a shower of hearts
falling from the grill was suspended
Cupid. A delicate tracery of fern
marked the picture moulding and dot
ted the lace curtains.
Mrs. G. J. Bitch and Mrs. A. T.
Thomas welcomed the guests at the
front door and in the hall were Miss
Gertie Peyser and Mrs. G.. w. Hunter,
who asked them to the living room,
where the hostesses graciously receiv-
ed with the special guest of honor.
Mrs. Theus was becomingly gowned
in black chiffon with a corsage bou-

When the guests had all arrived an
hour was pleasantly spent hemming
dust cloths and cup towels. A large
white wedding bell was then brought
in and suspended over the chair oc-
cupied by the honoree. All eyes were
eager to know the significance and
were greatly surprised when ribbon

enveloped Miss Bullock. Another
surprise was in store but this time
only for the honor guest. The door
bell rang and Mrs. Hunter on an
swering called Mrs. Theus, who was
too busy to go to the door, so with
out delay, a colored woman entered
with laundry basket and laid it at
the feet of Miss Bullock, who hastily
cast aside the covering. Her surprise
was genuine when she beheld basket
of towels, of all sizes, small embroid-
cred, others initiated and some plain,
and found that they were gifts to her
from the guests. Then Mrs. Theus
presented her with the cup towels
and dust cloths which had been hem
med as gift from she and Miss
Stein.
In the dining room another half
hour was happily spent enjoying
chicken salad, waters, olives, sand
wiches, coffee with whipped cream and
salted almonds. The salad was serv-
I'd in white heart baskets, edged in
pink around which were tiny pink
hearts, and the sandwiches were
leart shaped and tied with pink rib
bon bows in which were pink hearts.
