In Honor Miss Ackie White.
Among the many affairs given in
honor of Miss Ackie White, a charm¬
ing bride-elect, one of the most de¬
lightful was a breakfast, given by
Mrs. Charlie A. Franklin, Saturday
morning, at her home on Monticello
street.
The color scheme of green and white
was beautifully carried out in the
dining-room while the library was at¬
tractively adorned with pink carna¬
tions and pink-shaded candles.
The breakfast table, on which cov¬
ers for sixteen were laid, was exquis¬
ite in its decorations. The centerpiece
was a beautiful maiden-hair fern in a
silver fern dish placed on a lace cover.
Silver candelabras holding white
tapers were used on either end of the
table and surrounding the centerpiece
were single candles and from these
to the candelabras were suspended
green and white ribbons twined with
smilax. From the chandelier the let¬
ters “W. and C” tied with green and
white ribbons formed the monogram.
All the accessaries of a traveling
bag were presented to the bride in a
unique manner. The gifts were at¬
tached to her chair at the table, with
white and green ribbons, and each
donor, as her name was read on the
gift, responded with a toast to the
bride holding aloft a burning taper.
A four-course breakfast was then
served, those present being Misses
Ackie White, May White, Lillian
Stephenson, Eva Stephenson, Bonner
Simms, Sara Simms, Frances Hender¬
son, Kate Thompson, Jule Trippe,
Dessa Hays, Hyda Heard, Flora Carr,
Katharine Butler, Anna Keith and
Susis Lewis.
On Tuesday afternoon Misses Eva
and Lillian Stephenson entertained at
a miscellaneous shower for Miss
White at the home of Mrs. E. W.
Fowler. The entire lower floor of the
lovely home was thrown open to the
guests and presented an unusually at¬
tractive appearance with its decora¬
tions of palms and ferns and rose car¬
nations. A tiny Xmas trot held the
bride’s gifts which were dainty re¬
membrances from her girl friends.
An ice course was served, the ices
in rose cups, with rose colored cakes
The heart-shaped candies and shades
were also in rose color. This was one
of the loveliest gatherings with which
Miss White was complimented.
Mrs. James Philips was hostess on
Friday at an elegant six o’clock din¬
ing complimentary to Miss White and
Mr. Callaway.
The table had for its center piece
maiden hair fern resting on a hand¬
some lace piece. Covers were laid for
twelve and the dinner served in six
courses. The place cards were dainti¬
ly hand-painted in poiusellas.
Those invited were Mr. John Calla¬
way and Miss Bessie Ezelle; Mr. C. S.
Thompson and Miss Sara Simms; Mr.
R. E. Stephenson and Miss Jule
Trippe; Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Godfrey.
Mrs. P. W. Godfrey gave a beautiful
violet luncheon for Miss White during
the past week. The dining room was
never more admired than upon this
occasion with its wealth of fragrant
violets. The place cards were hand
painted in violets, the color scheme
being carried out through the six
courses served.
Mrs. Godfrey is ever a charming
hostess and was assisted by her daugh¬
ter, Miss Frances. Invited to meet
the bride-elect were, Mrs. W. N.
Rainey, Mrs. Burt, Mrs. George Shing
ler and Mrs. Crawford Jenkins, four
brides of the past year.
Misses Katharine and Nelle Butler
were the attractive hostesses at a linen
shower for Miss White on Friday,
which was one of the lovliest affairs
of the week.
The parlor and dining-room were
fragrant with violets while palms,
ferns and violet ribbons formed the
other decorations. The table was ex¬
quisite with its heart shaped violet
centrepiece. A dainty salad course
consisting of olive sandwiches, brown
bread, ham sandwiches, chicken sal¬
ad, nut cakes, and Russiun tea was
served.
