Indoor Garden Party.


Cralle and Mrs. Orin Ashton, Tues
day afternoon was one of the pret-
tiest and most elaborate affairs of
the season.
The color scheme of green and
white suggestive Of st. Patrick's
Day was carried out in all the deco
rations.
AT the entrance to the garden was
a small wicker gate placed between
two pillars topped with vases OF
beautiful ferns and flowers. The
room was arranged with a central
aisle on either side of which were
tables each decorated with four
blooming marguerite plants which
we're later given each guest as ia
vorS. Beautiful palm and cherry
trees on which the ripe red cherries
were hanging were placed among
the tables and gave the room a
pretty out OF doors effect. The chan
deliers were artstically draped with
shamrock leaves and the trellis on
either side of the fireplace was
woven with green vines the fire
place itself being banked with ferns
among which were perched very
pretty and 'colorful birds. Over and
on each side Of the three doors were
baskets of Easter lilies and fern.
Three OF these flower baskets also
decorated the spaces between the
windows. Daintily colored butter
flies among these flowers added to
their attractiveness.
The guests were met at the dorr
by Mrs. John E. White and were
let through tne garden gate by little
Ruth Melton, Rosa Lee Roche and
Mary Lee Salter of Oklahoma City.
Here they were met by the receiv-
ing line in which were the house
guests Of Mrs. Ashton.

and Auary and Annie Ashton, who
all looked very sweet and girlish in
dainty white organdle frocks.
The silver coffee service was
placed at one end of the beautifully
appointed table and the chatting
dish at the other.
Shamrock crepe paper was fes-
TONED around the table and small
IRISH f1ags IN each sherbet cup car

With fragrant roses, there being
three large baskets of white and
orchid colored in the center and
two Of delicate pink on each end.
