Southern Star March 9, 1910


One of the most delightful social affairs occurred Friday afternoon,
when Mrs. L.F. Sessions and Mrs. F. H. Sessions entertained at their elegant
home on Broad street.
The lower floor was thrown together for the entertainment of the guests
and was artistically decorated with ferns and cut flowers. In the parlor
cut glass vases of Killarney roses added beauty to this dainty room of white
and gold.
Bowls of roses and pink Janonicas were used effectively in the library. In
the dining room Brides roses enhanced the elegance of its oak furnishings
and from the oval table covered with a cluny lace piece fruit punch was
served by Mrs. B.F. Coleman and Mrs. L.B. Martin.
Mrs. H.B. Dowling assisted in receiving the guests, and Misses Frances
Reynolds and Willie Belle Sessions kept score for the game of bid dominos.
After the game a course luncheon was served, carrying out the color
scheme of pink and white in the ices.
Those invited were Mrs. B.F. Coleman, Mrs. J.L. Williams, Mrs. M.
Sollie, Mrs. H.C. Dowling, Mrs. H.O. Dowling, Mrs. J. A. Eason, Mrs. V.A.
