Reception at Waverly Hall Friday Night

One of the most enjoyable social functions of the season was a reception on the 
evening of Friday, August 21, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Camp, given 
in honor of their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lee Lucas, who since their 
marriage on August 12 are spending a few days here.

Japanese lanterns being used around the verandas gave a most inviting 
appearance.  Ferns, various potted plants and rugs were tastefully arranged on 
the verandas.

Mr. and Mrs. Camp were assisted in receiving their guests by Miss Etta Lucas 
and Mr. Walter Lucas.  Mrs. Lucas, the bride, wore a handsome gown of white 
elaborately trimmed in laces.  She carried a bouquet of white roses.

Miss Etta Lucas was pretty, wearing white, showing much handiwork.  Mrs. Camp 
wore pearl white lace over pink silk.

Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, the guests of honor, stood under a beautifully decorated 
arch from which two while hearts were suspended.

After all the guests had arrived and many congratulations, the young ladies 
stood in a circle and Mrs. Lucas threw her bouquet.  Miss Ida Gurr, being the 
fortunate one to catch it.

Cards were arranged for the young ladies and men to draw for a mock marriage.  
Miss Pearl Bickley and Mr. George H. Byrd drew the cards with the small 
hearts.  Mr. John W. Camp performed the ceremony in a very witty and humorous 
way.

At a late hour dainty refreshments were served, the color scheme, white and 
pink being carried out, and with every plate was a souvenir card bearing the 
names of the guests of honor, host and hostess and the date.  Misses Octavia 
Perry and Mattie Lucas served.

Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lee Lucas, Miss Annie May Kilpatrick and 
Mr. Dickson, Miss Pearl Bickley and Mr. George H. Byrd, Miss Etta Lucas and Mr. 
Lon B. Kilpatrick, Miss Maida Moultrie and Mr. Walter Lucas, Miss Ida Gurr and 
Mr. Ed Lucas, Miss Lucy Whitehead and Mr. Ruben McLeroy, Miss Eva Harrie and 
Mr. Owen Stanford, Miss Bessie McLeroy and Mr. Welborn Bickley, Miss Anna Belle 
Bickley and Mr. Harry McCullough.
