OF the valley, Mrs Anderson in
creamy lace with green girdle and
Mrs. DuPre in white lace. Mrs. Pat
ton wore black net over violet sa-

The entire first floor was beauti-
fully and deliberately decorated with
ferns, white roses, white carna
lions and white candles set i'll
white rosettes. The front veranda
was enclosed and lighted with Jap
lanterns. The receiving party stood
in front of ferns that reached to
the ceiling and were intersperseI
with candles and vases of white
flowers.
All the electric light globes we're
draped with white tulle and aspar-
agus fern. The electrolier over the
round table from which punch was
served was showered with lilies OF
the valley and asparagus fern. The
table had a cluny lace cover over
green, the punch bowl was bordered
with clusters of Malaga grapes and
surrounded by cut-glass compoteS
filled with green minis and joined
by streamers of white tulle with bits
of asparagus fern and lilies of the
valley. Frozen fruit punch green
tinted was served by Miss Virginia
Barnes, Agnes Smith, Christine
Dobbs, Laura Margaret Hoppe and
Julia Anderson.
Next to this was the music room
in which an orchestra from Allan
ia made melody all the evening.
The presents were displayed in
the dining room and made dazzlin g
array.
One of the handsomest was from
Mrs. Montgomery Sunday School
class Of young men. 1t is a large
round vase of Venetian glass with
base and top of dull brass and a brass
filigree over the top to hold flowers
without a crushed effect. Another
highly appreciated gift was a bou-
quet of white carnations and lilies
Of the valley from "Uncle Bob
Northcutt who was not well enough
to come out
Those serving were Mrs. Glenn
Marchman, Mrs. w. A. Sans, Mrs
Dan Anderson, Mrs. Lewis Turner
Mrs. J. R. Brumby, Miss es Carrie
Sessions, Lois Welsh, Marie Law
Augusta Groves, Mabel Cortelyou
and Hooper Wikle.
The ferns transformed the rooms
into bowers Of foliage against which
the pretty guests were like breathing
blossoms. Watching such a scene
as he must have often done, why die

"Why does night show stars ana
women in a better light?"
