Ersle Fleming had a lovely
bridge Thursday afternoon In her
new home In Edgeway Drive The
house is just darling, with a
large red brick fireplace In the
north end Of the room and book
cases 6n either side, and 1t Is
we'll adapted for entertaining as
the drawing room and dining
room may be thrown together by
opening the French doors.
There were eight tables, and
several Of the girls who are home
on visits, including Virginia Alex
ander Barnes and E4:ih Hartman
Ely, were there and we all had q
delightful time.
Virginia, who is positively the
most wonderful looking creature
| have ever seen, wore stun
ming afternoon gown Of Harding
blue, which was embellished with
bronze beads. The sleeves were
extremely long, almost touching
the floor, and the neckline was
softened with a squirrel collar.
Needless to say, the skirt was
long. She wore a hat OF squirrel
fur.
Edith looked striking in a
gown Of dark brown velvet, which
just matched her eyes. Her hat
was of an alrplane shape and was
made fof black velvet. The ma:
terial was draped softly and It's
only trimming was brilliant
onyx and rhinestone pin. She wore
pearl ear rings and a beautiful
diamond and emerald little finger
ring, which / think must be now.
for l am positive she did not have
1t the last time she was here.
Ersle, who wore a beautiful
gown Of navy blue georgette crepe
which was deliberately beaded.
was assisted in serving by all Of
her sisters-in-law, Virginia Flem-
ing Jones, Grace Jones, who is
Virginia's slster-in-law and Elsie
Smith.
Virginia wore a handsome gown
Of black satin, which was sleeve
less. There was long panel
hanging from the waist line, faced
with bright blue crepe de chine,
and the collar, which started at
the back Of the neck, was ac-
cordlan pleated and hung to tho
waist. Her ear rings; which today
form an essential part Of milady d
costume, were on onyx, square In
shape, and were inset with ting
pearls, Grace wore a smart look
ing blue suit with squirrel trim
ming, and her hat was trimmed
with the squirrel. Elsie looked at
tractive In a frock Of navy blue
tricotine embroidered in. je.
beads. and with 1t she wore a
sand colored hat. which is ur-
usually becoming. 81
Mrs. John Hough, who was
Georgia Crane, received a beautt-
full orange colored vase, in a
wrought iron standard. for hav-
Ing high score and the consola-
ton prize, a box of Coty's face
powder and a puff, went to Maisle
Hamilton. She looked resplendent
in black duvetyn gown and
black hat and she had on lovely
old antique ear rings.
Blake Lemley Ramage looked
like little Red Riding Hood IN a
frock of scarlet crepe de chine
and a hat to match, the brim Of
which was made OF the same col
ored feathers. With her dark hair
and eyes 1t all was quite becom-
ing and everyone was commenting
on how nice she looked.
Edna Jacobs wore a pretty sand
colored georgette crepe de chine
gown which was beaded with red
and sand crystal beads and a
maliue hat Of the same color
which was trimmed with uncurled
