Violet Tea

The “violet tea” given at the residence of Col. and Mrs. W.S. Wallace in honor 
of their daughter Miss Sara, was a memorable merry occasion.

The elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, on Howard St., is well adapted to 
entertaining.  It was brilliant with light, fragrant with flowers and animated 
with the presence of beautiful young ladies during the hours from eight to 
twelve.

Miss Wallace is an extremely attractive young lady, with a lovely face, fine 
eyes and general air, at once high bred and graceful.  Her gown was a 
strikingly becoming one.

The parlor was beautifully decorated with flowers, violets were used as the 
principal decorations.  A bouquet of violets were given to everyone present.

Mr. and Mrs. P.S. Awtrey, Miss Rosalinda Carter and others much added to the 
entertainment by their vocal and instrumental solos.

At eleven o’clock the guests were invited into the spacious dining hall.  Here 
the decorations were entirely of violets.  The table was particularly artistic 
in arrangement.

The affair was an altogether lovely entertainment and one of genuine 
enjoyment.  Those present were: Miss Mattie Montfort, with Dr. W.L. Ryder, of 
Talbotton; Miss Maggie Frierson, with J.N. Mitchell; Miss Gussie Hines, with 
D.A. Oden; Miss Bessie Hines, with W.E.A. Smith; Miss Ella Montfort, with E.R. 
Layfield; Miss Brownie Newsome, with Dr. H.T. Gaines; Miss Lizzie Mauk, with 
T.H. Battle; Rosalinda Caldwell with J.T. Bateman; Miss Matile Bateman with 
C.E. Benns; Mr. and Mrs. P.S. Awtrey; W.J. Mathews, of Union, Ga., W.G. 
Montfort and Dr. W.C. Bateman.
