Attractive Bridge Party
Miss Myrtle Talbot and Mrs. E. B. Green entertained with an attractively planned bridge party Saturday afternoon at Miss Talbot’s home, in complement to Miss Kitty Kilpatrick, a bride to be. As the party was in the nature of an announcement, the secret was prettily told at the last.
An attractive arrangement of Dorothy Perkins roses, larkspur, primroses, shasta daises, and other spring flowers developed a very pleasing decorative scheme in which pink and white were predominent.
On each table were bride place cards, suggesting the secret of the occasion.
Miss Melba Grafton won the prize for high score, a beautiful rainbow silhouette
The gift from the hostess to the honoree was a lovely pink Fostoria ice bucket and tongs.
Punch was served during the games, and pink and white was again seen in the refreshments consisting of an ice course. The trays had as their centers tall slender bud vases with pink and white larkspur tied with tulle bows. The mint cups with small wedding bells and hearts hanging from the handles told the secret of the bride-to-be, and the color scheme was further carried our by the beautiful corsages of pink roses. Under each piece of cake was a white ribbon holding the prize from the cake. It was great fun to see who had cut the wedding ring, thimble, or other omens of good or bad fortune.
The quests playing were: Mesdames M. W. Laurence, C. C. Colvin, E. R. Robinson, Y. S. Fuller, F. D. Mabry, J. T. Porter, Jr., F. D. Mabry, J. T. Porter, Jr., Frank Rockett, Aylmer Hollis, F. D. Tolbert, G. E. Lindsey, K. F. Thaxton, Misses Kitty Kilpatrick, Tressie Cook, Aureal Jones, Melba Grafton and Sudie Carroll.
