 The incident happened at beautiful elmer party given by MT. and Mrs. John E. Murphy, which the Atlanta Constitution recorded as follows:
 At the dinner party Mr. and Mrs. John E. Murphy gave Geraldine Farrar Wednesday evening preceding opera one of the guests of the occas> Ion proposed a toast of appreciation to her. In graceful response she ools the occasion to express her apprecia> : ton to her Atlanta friends of the present and the past. She conclui led in proposing a silent toast to the late Col onel Robert J. Lowery, and the late James R. Gray, both of whom were among her hosts of her first visits to Atlanta Later she called upon Mrs Lowery and Mrs. Gray.
