Miss Helen Tillman Honor Guest at Miss Miriam Norris' Reception. The reception of Friday afternoon, October the 8th, given by Miss Mir iam Norris was the first of a number 1 of affairs to be given in honor of Miss Helen Tillman, whose marriage to Mr. Preston Whight of Cincinnati is to be a brilliant event of November the third. Mrs. Hugh Mitchell and Miss Gen evieve Norris received at the door. Little Marjorie Mitchell and Emily Dunovant pinned dainty cards on the guests, which sounded the key note of the color scheme, the rich yellow of autumn forest and field. Miss Marjorie Tompkins and Miss Elizabeth Rainsford were at the re ception door, conducting the guests to the receiving line. Receiving with the hostess and honoree were Mrs. Mamie N. Till man, Mrs. Lovick Smith, Miss Rose la Parker and Miss Gladys Padgett, their lovely light evening gowns con trasting with the rich gold of the golden rod, used so profusely in the artistic decorations. Miss June Rainsford and Miss Snow Jeffries invited the guests into the dining room where Mrs. R. G. Lee and Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, Jr., presided. A dainty lace cover was on the tea table and yellow ribbon in which sprays of the golden rod were caught were suspended from the chandelier. Misses Isabel Byrd and Helen Nich olson served block cream with rich black fruit cake, followed by cof fee, with whipped cream. Little Per rin Mims handed silver dishes of mints, finishing the elegant course. In the living room, Miss Ruth De Loach and Miss Katherine Mims pre sided over the bride's book, in which each guest registered. Miss Norris was a charming hos tess, her artistic touch, an inheri tance from her mother's gifted fam ily, showing in many pretty details. \ Third Division Woman's Mis sionary Union.
