PLEASANT RECEPTION AT MRS. POND'S

Pretty Decorations Which Brightened the house.

New Ideas in Decoration Exhibited. Reception Was a very Delightful One.

Mrs. George Pond and Miss Bessie Pond gave a delightful reception Monday afternoon at their pleasant home on E. Ann street. The house was most tastefully decorated. The parlors, where Mrs. and Miss Pond received their guests, were decorated with chrysanthemums, ferns and potted plants. In the library the color used was red, red berried, red candles and shades, and the electric lights being covered with scarlet crepe paper, to represent flowers. The dining room was particularly pretty in pink, green and white. The table was trimmed with shirred pink ribbon and smilax, the centrepiece being a vase of calla lillies; in the centre of each lily a tiny pink candle burned, giving a beautiful effect; pink candles and pink and white bonbons were also placed at either end of the table, and pink roses, carnations, ferns and vines were placed about the room.

Miss Mary Pond and Mrs. William Brown served the ice cream and cake, assisted by the Misses Hennequin, Louise Tatlcok and Marie Avery. In the music room coffee and wafers were served by Mrs. Keith and Mrs. Eugene Beal, assisted by Mrs. Dudley and Mrs. Rice Beal. Mrs. Elmer Beal, Miss Henning, Miss Condon and Mrs. S. W. Beakes assisted in looking after the guests. About two hundred and fifty guests were received during the afternoon.
