MRS. E. R MALONE HOSTESS AT
BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON RECEPTION

Flowers and growing plants adj
ded their charm to the beautifully ap-
pointed home of Mr.. and Mrs. e. R.

day afternoon at large reception,
one of the most elaborate affairs of
the season, in honor of her guests,
Miss Virginia NJ. Gardner, Of Martin,
Tenn, and Mrs. John w. Malone, of
Dothan, Ala, who have been so cor
daily received in Pensacola society.
The Malone residence lends itself
admirably to entertaining, and was
most effectively treated, decorative
scheme of pink and green having
been used throughout the entire lower
floor, with the exception of the re
ception hall, quantities of fragrant
white and glowing crimson carnations
having been used here to achieve a
charming note Of contrast.
In the front drawing room pink
carnations, pink prim roses and deep
pink cyclamen, with ferns in green
jardinieres were most artistically
used to carry out the pink and green
tones, and in the dining room Killar-
ney roses were an effective table dec
grafton with carnations used on the
mantel and buffet, with silver candle
sticks shaded in silver over pink satin.
The table, covered with cluny over
pale green satin, had as its central
decoration a tall cut glass vase of
deep pink Killarney roses, placed on
a reflector which also duplicated the
blossoms in smaller vases on either
side, and the deep rose tones were
struck again in the lights, which were
carried around the table, representing
a rose wreath, each light having its
rose shade of satin, with pale green
ribbon base, giving strikingly beau
tiful effect, as of a rose and leaves.
Pale green and pink satin streamers
were caught about the table in a
graceful border and dishes OF spun
candy, representing pink roses held
mint sticks tied Win green ribbons
and ornamented in tiny pink rosebuds,
the soft pastel shades of the pink and
green ribbons and the deep pink Of the
roses making an exquisite combina-
tion against the softly lighted surface
of the lace covered table.
