Mr. & Mrs. W.H. Brannon Entertain March
18 1908
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.
