The table was especially beauu-
full. laid with an imported cloth OF
Italian cut work and conferred with
q bowl OF spring flowers. I'll in
white. The cake took all the space
at one end OF the large banquet

o Leroy Smith and String Ensemble
In the living room, where the re-
ceiving line formed. Leroy Smith
and his string ensemble played in
cidental music throughout the. al
fair. all the gay semi-classic and
light opera tunes just tia right
things for such a swank affair.
In the rumpus rooms, down stairs.
the we'll stocked bar was busy. as
you can imagine. a gay and eonvi-
vial group. gathered there to dance
and chat as they chose.
The anniversary party really
served as a double celebration for
the williams. because on last Fri
day, their daughter. Mrs. Felix NC
David. became the mother OF me
baby boy. and Friday was really the
day OF their anniversary, but they
had decided that Sunday would be
a better day for the reception. Cap
