Two large hearts of flowers, centered by satin ribbon spelling out the names of the couple, revealed the engagement news to close friends of Miss Gram. The tea was given ostensibly to honor the bride-elect’s cousin, Mrs. C. Crowell Sherwood, jr., who is visiting here from Maumee, O.
Tall arrangements of all-white flowers flanked by white tapers centered the tea table which was spread with a lace cloth, and heirloom in Mrs. Gram’s family.
The orchid is Miss Gram’s hair blended with the chartreuse trim of the black afternoon dress she wore for her engagement tea. Mrs. Gram was attired in a black gown and wore red camellias.
Present at the tea were Mr. Blood’s mother and his two sisters, Mrs. Charles S. Davis, jr., and Mrs. J. Nall Candler, all of Detroit.
