Miss Helen Tillman's Lovely Reception. "Magnolia,", the beautiful colonial home of Mrs. Mary Norris, that is so typical of the romantic antebellum South from its stately architecture to its gracious hospitality, was the scene of a lovely reception Tuesday evening, December 30th when Miss Helen Tillman entertained- for her louse party, a coterie of Hollins .school mates. The house -was most artistically .decorated. Graceful smilax festooned the pictures, doors/ windows and transformed the broad stair way. Holly wreathes gave a festive air to the soft window draperies. The many lights of the chandeliers shown through poinsettia shades, were a vivid contrast to the glossy green bamboo with which they were en twined. Pots of blooming narcissus lent their delicate fragrance through out the lower floor of the home, which was en suite for the brilliant occasion. The guests were welcomed by Mrs. Lovick Mims and Mrs. Percy Mar shall Feltham. Mrs. B. B. Jones, Mrs. Allen Sam uels and Miss Kellah Fair invited the guests into the library where Mrs. Patillo Blalock and Miss Sarah Lyon served delicious punch from a howl that was embowered in a mass of Christmas tree foliage, with myriads of the bright, red berries showing. Victrola music enlivened the mer ry company in this room from which they were conducted by Mrs. James Kennerly and Mrs. Lovick Smith to the reception room across the hall. Bright music <and vocal selections in this room added to the vivacious spirits. In the parlor where tropical poin settias gave an added beauty to the Yuletide decorations Mrs. Mamie Norris Tillman assisted her daughter Miss Tillman, in receiving the guests and introducing them to their at tractive house guests. Mrs. Tillman's costume of cream lace over yellow charmeuse, was most becoming to her rich brunette beauty. Miss Tillman was a vision of lovi ness in a handsome American Beauty panne velvet, eh train. An iridescent sequin drapery enhanced the bodice and a large ostrich fan of the same glorious tint completed the wonder ful costume. A corsage bouquet of American Beauty roses was worn by Miss Tillman. Mrs. R. B. Cooner. of Columbia, a most attractive relative of Mrs. Till man's, received in an, exquisite French gown, the foundation of which was midnight blue charmeuse wjth black silk Venetian drapery, silver bodice, adorned with a touch of American Beauty velvet, which with brilliant diamonds, was vastly becoming to this charming matron. Miss Frances McIntosh of Colum bia wore a dainty frock of white taffeta whose trimming of silver lace and soft tulle added to the charm of this lovely guest. Miss Ipsie Fuller of Lumberton, N. C., a vivacious brunette, was most becomingly gowned in yellow satin overdraped with tulle of the same color. Next to Miss Fuller was Miss Car rie Lee Templin of Middleboro, Ken tucky, whose fair coloring was ac centuated by her girlish frock of or chid taffeta, with trimmings of os trich. Mrs Julian Holstein and Mrs. A. E. Padgett stood in the parlor invit ing the guests into the dining room, where Mrs. J. L. Mims, Mrs. J. H. Cantelou and Miss Sophi? Dobson as sisted Mrs. Mary Norris in her gra cious hospitality. The room was centered by the round table on whose lace spread stood a facinating Christmas tree, richly adorned in glittering tinsel, with a miniature Santa Claus pre siding. Numerous tiny crimson tapers vied with red berries in brightening the charming effect. Little Miss Marjorie Cooner, who is her with her mother on the delight ful house party, served the baskets of mints. She was a picture of childish loveliness in her frock of pink taffe ta with over dress of accordion plait ed pink tulle, and on her shoulders a graceful silver butterfly gave the impression that the little fairy could as easily fly as trip on the daintily shod tiny feet. Misses Mary Marsh and Mae Rives, a strikingly pretty contrast ol bru nette and blonde charm, in exquisite lingerie frocks with pink and blue ribbons, served the vanilla and straw berry block cream and rich black fruit cake. Over a hundred guests called du ring the evening making this bril liant reception a memorable occasion of the 1919 Yuletide. Mrs. P. M. Feltham. COTTON SEED! Record 4 bales per acre.
