RECEPTION AT
THE wOMAN's CLUB

The WOMAN - SLOb
Everything making for pleasure
contributed to the success of the re-
Iception at the Woman's Club house
yesterday afternoon. 1t was one of
those made to order Florida days,
which, together with the charm and
originality of the two accomplished
hostesses, Mrs. William Hooker and
Mrs. Louis W. Duval. who are sisters,
the occasion viii long linger in the
mind of each caller for it was one of
the most thoroughly enjoyable social
occasions of the season.
The club house, unadorned, is at all
times inviting and cozy, but yester-
Cay it was artistically decorated and
no pen description, could do it justice;
it was dreamland of loveliness.
Large sprays of dogwood, pink bud
and other spring blossoms were In
abundance throughout the auditorium
and reception room, while silver and
unique wooden and straw baskets of
all sizes filled with flowers were plac-
ed about the rooms. On the stage in
the auditorium the dogwood and other
Wild flowers were so artistically ar
ranged that it appeared the blossom
laden trees had been transplanted
there.
At the front steps of the club
house stood two dainty fairies, Ade
laide Duval and Laurie Hampton. Un-
like. in type of beauty, yesterday these
little misses were so similarly attired
III dainty party dresses that they were
taken for twins, and winsome they
were in their spring raiment.
The guests were greeted just inside
the auditorium by the hostesses in an
informal but cordial manner, which
permeated the atmosphere during the
afternoon. Receiving with Mrs. Hook
er and Mrs. Duval was their sister,
Mrs. E. II. Mote of Leesburg, but who
is well known and greatly beloved in

blue and black crepe meteor was
most becoming, Mrs. Duval, entirely
