The we,-k ha- been ver t guj. the •
largest affair of the week being the

on Peachtree road. Mrs Henry
Johnson's luncheon ’’or Mis* Raw-
son was one of the notably beauti
ful affairs of the week. Tonight

Personal Touch
Gives Original
Air to Social
Events
T "I THILE it is not common with
I V y Atlanta hostesses to use a
thousand orchids as a novel
party decoration, in order to have
the much desired "something un
usual," there Is a lavish use of good
taste and ingenuity and an extrav
agant expenditure of personal ef
fort and thought on the part of
many hostesses, which achieves the
desired aim of originality and ar
tistic beauty in a more pleasing
manner than the mere spending of
much money might bring about.
Several of the prominent events of
this week have expressed artistic
and original ideas on the part of
the hostess.
Notable in this series was the
luncheon given by Mrs. J. K. Orl
and Miss Hariiet Orr on Thurs
day. when the harvest time and tne
Halloween season formed a motif
for the unique decorations, carried
out in sheaves of golden wheat,
bilght-hued autumn fruits, fes
toons and garlands of autumn
leaves, marigolds ami chiysanthe
mums the color of the autumn sun
shine. and all the ghostly .parapher- *
nalia of Halloween. Tjte luncheon
was a complimentary affair to
Misses Passle May Ottley and Mar
jorie Brown, two of last season's
debutantes, whose impularltj has
not only survived, but has increased
since their debut season.
Effective Decorations.
The guests, upon their entrance.
wer>‘ greeted with a view of yellow
and red autumn leaf festoons, drap
ing the softly tinted walls of the
reception hall. Garlands of the au
tumn leaves decorated the chande
liers. and nestled in the green of
swinging baskets in the sun par
lor *and drawing room. The rabies
were adorned with rustic baskets
of autumn fruits, the curved han
dles tied rwith small sheaves of
wheat. The golden grain appeared
in banked effect on the mantels, in
terspersed with ears of ripened corn
and dusters of marigold. Jack o'
Lanterns leered above the yellow
silk shades of the candlesticks, and.
with Impudent eyes, peeped from
I the gr. en hanging baskets Witches
j pots were bonbon holders, and tall
| yellow chrysanthemums lifted shag
gy heads above the palms grouped
in the corners of the apartments.
For the buffet supper which i ’ap
tain and Mrs. Grayson Heidt gave
for the Richardson-Yates bridal
party and friends, the cavalry col- ■
or-- of yellow blended haupl'y with
the Halloween idea, and, Hie flpw
ers of autumn in effective ' ora
tion. j
The Richardson-Yates wedding |
| achieved the original and. what i*
mole to be dei i-ed. a pi r-onul and
distinctive note in it- originality.
The scene of the wedding Was tile <
beautiful long music room of the
bride's home, w ith its handsome
pipe organ and grand piano, and its
spacious attractiveness was . set
ting out of the ordinary for a mar
riage. The elaborate musical pro
gram was a. pleasing feature and
most appropriate for the marriage
—a wedding ceremony in a home
which has long been identified with
the musical and artis ic life of so
cial Atlanta. The fact that a re
cent bride ami another bride-to-be
were in the wedding i crty struck a
note of sentiment, while a stronger
appeal yet was made by the par
ticipation, in one way or another,
of each member of the household in
the wedding of tlie eldest daughter.
Two sisters of the bride were in
the wedding party -one a debu
tante of last winter and the other
to be out next season. A young
sister, still in her early teens, sang
as the bridal pair knelt immediate
ly after the marriage, and the small
son of the household bore the white
satin cushion for the bride, who
entered with her father. The ex
quisite handiwork of embroideries
on the bridal toilet bore testimony
to the personal efforts of the bride'sl
charming mother, who acted as
. hostess to the hundreds of guest#
present.
Next Week’s Bride.
Miss Man Traylor will be th#
next bride in this interesting se
ries of autumn weddings, her mar
riage to Mr Rudolph John Thiesen
being dated for next Saturday, the
ninth of November. This will be a
home wedding, characterised by a
charming group of bridesmaid* and
many pleasing details of decora
tion and hospitality.
