Goldenrod Adorns
Informal Parties
of Atlanta
Hostesses
GOLDEN rod parties are the
order of the day for Atlan
ta’s informal affairs. Fol
lowing a well established custom,
the small and unpretentious affaire
of the early autumn season are
graced by decorations of the bright
plumed flower which blooms freely
by the wayside throughout Septem
ber and October. For the very large
or formal party Atlanta hostesses,
in common with those of all the
world, order the costly orchids from
the florist, and carry out an ex
pensive decorative scheme with
rare hot house blossoms. But for
the many affairs of less preten
tion, though often of an equal or
greater pleasure, the hospitable
hostess uses the flowers of the sea
son, depending on her taste and ar
tistic knowledge to give an Indi
vidual effect
There are the early fall affairs
when goldenrod gives color and
beauty to the simple morning party,
then comes the chrysanthemum
season, when all grades of gor
geousness and a varied color
scheme can be carried out. For the
holiday season there is the crim
son flowered poinsettia as well as
the holly and mistletoe. The spring
luncheon is appropriately decorated
in daffodils and hyancinths, while
the summer brings roses Into their
own.
Many of the beautiful gardens of
the summer homes furnish artistic
adornment for the entertainment of
the season. Mrs. Robert Maddox,
whose affairs are noted for the
beauty and originality of their dec
orations, more often than not uses
blossoms from her own gardens for
her parties.

and still another is Mrs. William
Kiser the chatelaine of a lovely
home on Paces Ferry road.
