Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Yoe dis- I charged their obligation to Highland l Park society, if any such obligation existed, in’ the reception they gave last evening at their elegant home on Hazel avenue. There was .no , dash or brilliancy for mere show and i glitter about it. Hence, everything ‘ about it was substantial and elegant. ‘ There were some 200 gueste, nearly all from the Park, and only a few of their special friends from Chicago. It difl'ered from many social functions in that it had the characteristics of a home affair; soâ€" ciability and aflability pervaded it. It was the cultured men and women of this city, with their familiesgath- ered in the home of one of our high- ly esteemed citizens, or summer res- idents, and by it Mr. and Mrs. Yoe declared their membership in and fealty to Highland Park society. These solid, substantial and refined features commend it to us. You saw no one there whom you felt ought to be elsewhere; you missed no one, and our critical faculty was on the alert. .The large and beautiful lawn was i tastefully decorated with some 250 Chinese lanterns, and little groups’ strolled about under the trees, esâ€" pecially in the secluded portions in the rear. The house is unique in that it embodies many of the features of the beat plantation homes. of the Southland before the war. The porches seem immense beside so many aoeealled porches; the front one has almost the loftineee of a cathedral. All was brilliantly light- ed with electricity throughout. and as numerous as were the guests. there was no crowding anywhere. Go where you would. in the spacious hall, in the large living room. in the dining room, or the French recep< tion room. or out on that broad, long front pouch. on the east porch, on the south perch, on the several acre lawn or on the winding cement walks. every where there Were guests; no crud: and everybody happy.
