Lovely Entertainment at Fairfax for
Miss Sadie Harter.

| JOlHC lOSCSSSeS Uu flluoJ
Feb. 3, at one of the most delightful
affairs ever given in Fairfax. The
occasion was a miscellaneous show
er in compliment to Miss Sadie Har'
ter. a popular Fairfax girl whose
marriage to E. Roy Cooner, Of BAN
berg. will occur this month.
The Sanders home always ideal
for entertaining, was never prettler
than at this time. Promptly at ;
| o'clock began the reception OF the
guasts. Of whom about one hundred
we're invited. The spacious parlors
were thrown en- suite and presented
a scene of beauty rarely seen. A
variable fairyland it was, with my
| riads of red hearts, cupids, soft lights
and other suggestions that bespoke
the Valentine season.
After being presented to the re-
ceiving line, which was composed or
Mesdames Smith and Sanders and
Miss Harter, the guests were direct
ed by Mesdames F. C. Chitty and ).
Gray to the register which was
presided over by Mrs. Julia Harter'
mother of the bride-elect. In this
room, as elsewhere, one was kept
entirely under the spell of the good
old saint. The profusion of Valen-
tine SYMBOLS, interspersed with beau
tiful floral touches of red roses, min
sled in exquisite harmony with the
fairy-like glow of the subdued lights
and the soft gleam of red tapers.
The guests were next shown oy
Mesdames J. E. Johnston, G. A. San
ders and N. B. Loadholt to an at
tractiye corner of the reception hall
where fruit punch was served oy
Misses Mildred, Ammye and Zeile
Loadholt.
The entertainment feature was a
very attractive one. The hostesses
were here aided by Miss Alma
knight and Mesdames Youmans and
Anderson. Tables were placed here
and there over the lower floor, and
arranged for hearts-dice. The score
cards were pretty little heart shaped
Valentines, the color scheme again
coming into prominence. Through
ont the afternoon music was furnish
ed by Misses Lottie Fits, Emmie De
Lamar and little Miss Frances Load
holt. In a Valentine contest that
was conducted during the latter part
of the afternoon, Mrs. F. c. Ch1tty
won, a heart shaped box of candy
which she presented to the honor
guest. Later delicious sweet course
which blended beautifully with the
red and white motif, was served by
Misses Alma knight and Ammye, Mil
dred and Zelle Loadholt. The favors
were dainty little red packets filed
with rice. The contents OF these,
when a signal had been given, were
showered upon the bride-elect, who
made a charming picture as she SUBJ
mitted to this ancient and time-hon-
ored custom which is said to be SYM
bolic of good luck.
Perhaps the prettiest feature OF
the afternoon was the entrance OF a
snow white wagon which carried the
numerous gifts. This wagon, wrap
ned in white roses, was drawn by
four little boys, Du Pre- Sanders, Bill
" Johnston, Ernest Young, and Har-
old Lightsey, who were dressed in
suits of black velvet. Seated upon
the wagon, amid the many gifts,
were little Mildred Sanders and Car
olyn Williams, who were dressed re-
spectively in blue and pink crepe de
chine with fairy wings to harmonlze
and made beautiful climax to an
already pretty scene.
The dining room, which was pre-
sided over by Mesdames John Folk
and J. F. Lightsey, was especially at
tractive. Here again the color mo-
tif of red and white was observed
in all details. The exquisitely ap-
pointed table wa Entered with a
snow white cake lch was topped
with a dainty miniature bride. Sus
pended from the red shaded chan
delier, were festoons Of red and
white paper which commingled with
the faint lights from the red can
dies, made a very pleasing effect.
Much merriment was caused by the
cutting of the brides cake. The
dime fell to Miss Sara Neeley; the
thimble to Miss Daisy Rizer; the but
ton to Miss Mildred Loadholt, and
the ring to Miss Emma Harter.
