Meharryites Entertained (1907)
One of the finest parties of the season was that given by Mrs. Alice WEBSTER at the home of Mr. Frank EWING, 1215 Grundy street, during the holidays, in honor of Messrs. J.E.WARD and O.N. WILSON, of Meharry Medical College. A six-course menu was served in which the colors, red and black, the college colors, were carried out. The house was decorated in a profusion of flowers, palms, ferns and holly. The hostess, who was pretty attired in a dress of lace and jet over red silk, was assisted in receiving by Miss Jessie E. SMITH. Mr. Wm. GREGORY was toastmaster. A number of guests were present and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess.
