Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Brannon Entertain

The elegant new home of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Brannon was a blaze of light 
and magnificence on Wednesday evening.

The massive colonial columns gleamed marble-like in the silvery moonlight.  
Carriage after carriage rolled up the canopied driveway, and left, at the 
stately portals numerous friends of this popular couple.  Passing over the 
strip of velvet carpet, and beneath a circle of light, they were received in 
the beautiful hallway, where the coloring of rich crimson cast a becoming glow 
on Mr. and Mrs. Brannon and their receiving party, who were selected from the 
Domino Club members.

Mrs. Brannon was daintily sweet and fair in white chiffon and carried a large 
bouquet of freizas and maiden-hair fern.

The reception and living rooms of the entire house were opened in welcome to 
the merry company.  The hall, parlors and library, below stairs, were fragrant 
with violets and daffodils, and each apartment distinctive in its tintings and 
combination of colors.  The simplest decorations were employed, because the 
colorful charm of walls and ceilings displayed the joy of completeness.  The 
sweet air trembled with music’s rarest melodies.

Among the gifted singers were, Mrs. William Orlando DeLoach, Mrs. Edna Smith 
Grey, Miss Loulie Bradley, Mr. Thomas McDowell and Mr. William James Smith.

The guests wandered at will through the splendid corridors and around the 
spacious verandas, find the conservatory, with its tropical beauty alluring.  
From the firelight’s ruddy glow and the gentle radiance of lights above, a 
softened halo fell like a fleecy cloud over the guests, as they sat around the 
festal board.  A salad course with coffee was dispensed by Misses Imogene 
Smith, Clara Spivey, Martha K. Smith, Anne Douglass, Lucy Kimbrough, Susie 
Earnest, Ida Carson Brannon, and Messrs. Walter Lewis Perryman and Henry G. 
Brannon.  Congratulations and good wishes were showered upon Mr. and Mrs. 
Brannon in the possession of this palatial home, the handsomest in Talbot 
County, and the brilliant housewarming will be a golden charm upon its social 
charms.

The out of town guests were Hon. Price Gilbert, Mr. Fincher and Mr. Batt 
Ingram, of Columbus; Mrs. Walter Hazleton, of Atlanta; Miss Mina Wooten, of 
Buena Vista, and Miss Martha Martin of Columbus.
