The ultimate triumph of a series of beautiful companies occurred yes terday at the commodious home of Mrs. Frank L. Cummin's assist "d by Mrs. Henry Goos. The remodelling of the interior of this home present ed a most pleasing aspect to the ar tistic eye and immediately deter mined the genuine interest display ed in the home furnishings. Every room had a distinct feature outlin ed in the deep ivory tone, which is most attractive against the soft col orings of the walls and hangings. Mrs. Cummins is in herself ( a jugde of the appropriativeness of combinations which is essential in artistic results. The color scheme of the table decorations throughout the rooms was pink; the pink rosQ, and when we analize the full mean ing of "pink" we have eh acme of perfection. Against this profusion of pink eh bride-elect wore a radiant look as Ehe seated herself in the bridal chair. Her gown was of yel low charmeuse of uncompVcmising symplicity. A most delicious and tempting three course luncheon was placed before the guests under the direct service cf Mrs. Goos and Mrs. Cum mins. After luncheon bridge whist held the company for the remainder cf the e'vening. Despite the disturb ing conduct of the electric lights, possibly caused by the angry ele ments, the interest in the game did not wane. To Miss Vallery belonged . the troph", a beautifi bowl of Vene tian glass. The guest of honor's gift was a bowl of the same descrip tion. And to Mrs. Goos and Mrs. Cummins belong the honor of enter tainment. BUYS MORE LAND IN MISSOURI. From Monday's Dally. i Yesterday morning Allen Land and M. S.
