Kinard. in Calhoun street. The parlrs and hall were extreme ly effective in palms, ferns and bloom ing plants. In every available space b wls of fragrant violets and hya cinths were placed. The mantles were banked in jonquils, violets and ismilax. Wild smilax garlanded the balustrate in the I allway, and was al so used on the walls of the parlors. The entire house was illuminated with the Foft glow of candle light, which greatly enhanced its beauty. The dining room was very pictures que, being gaily decorated in Japa nese colors. There was no particular color scheme in this room, but quan titles of brilliant red. yellow and pink blossoms were massed together in an artistic effect. The tables were cov ered with pink crepe paper cloths. Tall vases of jonquils. in:erspersed with candelabra shaded in red and g, Id, were charmingly used. Lan t-rns, Japanese umbrellas and fans were arrangee appropriately about tc room. In one corner of the room was suspended a huge Japanese um brella, with lanterns hanging from each spoke. and under this. tea was charmingly served by Mrs. Waher H. Hunt. assisted by Misses Lucy Mc Caughrin and Elizabeth Burton. From the doorways and windows long streamers of red and yellow c-epe paper were suspended, produc ing a very pretty and unique effect. Dainty refreshments were served, the Japanese idea being carried out in every detail, even to tying the sand wiches with red and yellow paper rib bon. Especially noticeable was the kimona worn by Mrs. Hunt, as it was made in Japan. Misses McCaughrin and Burton wore kimonas of quaint and pretty designs. The guests were met at the door by Misses Fannie Mae Carwile and Fan nie McCaughrin. Assisting Miss Land in receiving her guests were Mesdames J. W. Humbert, James A. Burton, W. H. Carwile, 0. B.
