Little ~ Marriage of Fanny Beatrice (Trixie) Little and Frederick Joseph Chapple
"AT HOME"
FUNCTION BY TRIXIE LITTLE Last Tuesday afternoon
Miss Trixie Little gave a most enjoyable "at
home" to say "au revoir" to her most
intimate friends. Miss Little (who was supported by Mrs
W. C. Little) received her guests in a reception trained
gown of golden brown Japanse silk, yoke cream lace,
pretty finishing of chiffon and applique. Mrs W. C.
Little wore a handsome gown of copper tints in shaded
silk, black picture hat, long suede gloves; and Miss
Carrie Crocker was in pale-blue lustre coat and skirt
with rolled collar and cuffs of white satin; large hat in
pale blue was a pretty finish. A capital programme was
given, and it was thoroughly enjoyed. The hostess
contributed six items. The guests who took part were Mrs
T. Middleton (Miss C. Malyon), song, Miss Punshon, violin
solos; Miss Nellie Dill, recitation, Miss Ruby Coutts,
piano solo; and Miss Mabel Crump. Encores were numerous,
and cheerfully responded to. The floral decorations were
beautifully carried out. The entrance hall was the
repository for huge bowls on stands of arum lilies, and
in the drawing-room lilies of the valley, roses and
mignonette. The dining room was simply a fairy bower of
white blooms and white blossom. The effect was most
artistic. Dainty afternoon tea was served in the
dining-room. |
