Williams, Misses Louise Kirby, Grace Riley, Fanny Turney, Cora Becket, Eva Moore, Mrs. Geo. M. Bard and Mrs. A. Winans. The guests were conducted from the door by Masters Clark Mason and Earl Williams.

The house was beautifully decorated with flowers and plants, the decorations being in white and green. The stairway was a bower of beauty, being covered with trailing vines and with flowers.

A four course dinner was served, the library and dining room both being used. The guest were seated at small tables, four to each table. At each plate was a beautiful menu, in form of booklet, containing scriptural quotations, concerning, or appropriate to a feast. Upon the cover of the booklet ws a hand-painted decoration, representing a palm and base. The design was done fo [sic] of green, harmonizing with the decorations of the house. These menus were designed and executed by Mrs. Mason, and were beautiful and unique souvenirs of of the occasion. The dinner was excellent in form and beautifully served.
