No items received later than 9 o’clock on Saturday morning, and to insure attention, should be received Friday. ITH the receptionof Mrs. Edward Mayo on Thursday afternoon came an outpouring of the literal four hundred. Carriages flanked either side of the streets for blocks, awaiting their burdens of fashion. These tarried longer than the prescribed ten minutes, enchanted by the beautiful surroundings and entertained by the sprightly conversation which rippled upon every side. The coterie of ladies assisting Mrs. Mayo seemed inspired to do and say just the proper thing at just the proper time which added much to the life of the reception. Their gowning was very tasteful. These, flitting among filmy window draperies and brushing the fans of spreading palms, and guests filing into the parlors or chatting blithely in groups formed the frontespiece of this tableau vivant, while the vista of an elaborately dressed table with passing attendants made the background. The parlors, clad in their fresh, rich robe of new paneling and hangings bore no ornaments other than an occasional branching palm. The dining room was a symphony in white and green most harmoniously composed. The table, suspended as it were, by four cables of smilax was strewn with cream rosebuds, the center being marked by a mirror plate upholding a crystal vase of Marechel Neils. Bits of smilax with ferns patterned the damask at the sides. Weblike D’oyleys with an exquisite center piece upheld the cut glass almond and olive trays. Mrs. Mayo wore a gown elegante of seafoam bengaline; Mrs. Munroe, cream with violet garnitures; Mrs. William Orville Wilkes, black with a theatre waist of azure crepe; Miss Pace, crefe de chine in shades of heliotrope; Mrs. Seley in moire antique crepe, combining a light and dark shade of green; Mrs. Kellett in lemon veiled with black lace; Mrs. D. H. Orand in black with bodice of blue overlaid with black net, and Mrs. W. H. Wilkes in black with theater waist of lavender, formed the receiving list, whose tones of costuming blended most effectively with the surroundings. The tout ensemble made one of the prettiest receptions ever given in Waco. The receiving party was doubled later by the gentlemen for a game of cards, the pleasure of the evening being equal to that of the afternoon. * * * While a game of cards and congenial company is at all times pleasant, a departure from the stereotyped form of such lends a more pungent spice to the afternoon’s flavor. This departure was completely made by Mrs. Stokley Slayden on Tuesday afternoon, when she furnished the largest number of euchre hands of the season. Her home is perf ectly adapted to a large company, it being spacious, at the same time so arranged as to bring all into pleasant contact. There was an aroma of foreign lands in this affair which proved very acceptable. The score cards were souvenirs of Mrs. Slayden’s eastern travels, while the prizes were valuable mementoes of the same. The bits of pasteboard were retrospective of Palm Sunday at Rome, the lakes of Killarney and so on I through the half hundred used. The tables were marked by catchy verses upon fanciful designs. This was an unusually exciting game, the bids at six hand euchre being high. Six ladies came in for first honors, which were finally left for Mrs. W. W. Davis, who graciously acceded the same to Mrs. Seley, since Mrs. Davis does not accept prizes at cards. It was the Temple of the Vestal Virgins in miniature mounted upon a spar pedestal. Mrs. Orand’s cut drew the consolation, a lacquered card holder upon a rest of carved Teek wood. Mrs. Slayden’s magnetic tact held her guests until night’s shades had gathered. These were, MESDAMES.

Pace, Raymond, Friend. * * * Mrs. Robert Brooks took precedeuce last season as being one of the daintiest hostesses in Vanity Fair, but her 4 o’clock luncheon on Tuesday was even more charming than her former efforts. It culminated in honor of Mrs. Cowan’s guest, Miss Vinson, of Shreveport, Louisiana. It came, too, as a harbinger of springtide, redolent with the breath of the sweet violet, the patron blossom of the luncheon. It was a fitting emblem for such an occasion which called forth only the young girls, the first buds of womanhood. The decorations, the devices, the dishes—all suggested the violet. The table, first overlaid with heavy damask, was spanned diagonally by a broad violet ribbon. Each corner was marked by a fan of fern fronds, whose handle was suggested by a bunch of violets. Adown the length of the table, the ribbon bannerettes, embossed with a violet and the honored guest’s name in gilt script, formed a huge “V.” These were retained as souvenirs. The olive and almond mats were silk stitched in violet shades, while an urn and a basket upheld the modest sprays. The electroliers wore violet shades, while the mantel fall was a duplicate in color. Potted plants and freshly plucked clusters disposed throughout the room did still further homage to this floral queen. The height of good spirits mingled the bon mots of conversation with the discussion of the delicate cuisine service. Chicken croquettes with minced eggs in basket cups were garnished with Tom Thumb bows and violet petals, and served with beaten biscuits, shaving of celery and other complements. Tuttifrutti jelly with cake was the afterpiece. Misses Lora Ashburn and Ruth Smith, attired in French tissue gowns of violet hue, poured delicious chocolate, while little Miss Elise Haber did service Continued on Second Page
