Porch Party Given ForMiss Martha Long Wednesday.

Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock five young ladies gwe a dinner parch party at the home of Mias NeM Meyers, the guest of honor being Miss Martha Long. The porch was artistically decorated with lattis work, entwined with green branches and pink flowers, making it a very secluded little nook. Small tables were used, and in the center of each was a targe pink candlestick with little individual candles burning at each plate. Miss Long’s table was lighted with a candle in a beautiful holder draped with pink chiffon and pink runners to each plate of the bride’s party. As they took their places the girls of her sew club remained standing and sang a very original toast. The decorations, -together with the dimcolored lights, the girls’ dainty evening dresses and the sparkling glasses made a very striking right. The four-course dinner was of the very best, many of the articels carrying out the color scheme of pink and white. Between the courses Miss Catherine Watson gave a very appropriate reading “The Honeymoon.” Florence and Aileen Allman gave a piano duet and between the last courses Mrs. Rex Warner stepped to the door, carrying a basket of an umlescribahle airy mixture of sweet peas, ferns and pink chiffon. As she sang the last verse of “A Little Love, a Little Kiss,” she walked slowly to the bride’s table and handed her the basket. The little affair was one of success from beginning to end. May the future of the guest of honor be the same. —Contributed.
