“One of the elegant functions of the summer was the buffet luncheon of Mrs. Benjamin F. Lowell, 727 North Nevada avenue, given in honor of her daughter-in-law the bride, Mrs. J. Raymond Lowell, Thursday at 1:30 o’clock. The guests numbering fully 90 were welcomed in the drawing room by the hostess, Mrs. Lowell, Mrs. J. Raymond Lowell and her mother, Mrs. E. Worthington Cox. Assisting were Mrs. Arthur G. Sharp, Mrs. Albert B. Meservey and Mrs. James W. Scott.
Bridesmaid roses adorned the beautiful drawing room while the library was effectively garnitured with daybreak carnations, white snapdragons, babies breath and asparagua plumosa. Yellow and white marguerites and maidenhair ferns were used in the large plaque ornamenting the center of the polished table in the dining room and the doillies were exquisitely embroidered in ___ [illegible]. Strands of ___ [illegible] looped from the central electroiler contrasted most artfully with the wall decorations and [illegible] of pompeian red.

At first, Mrs. Francis W. Goddard presided at the coffee urn in the library and Mrs. William K. Argo served the ice. Later they were relieved by Mrs. E. W. Cox and Mrs. F. G. Peck.

The assisting young ladies were Miss Louie Michols, Miss Ruth Beaty, Miss Grace Trovinger, Miss Ethel Rafield, Miss Flora DeGraff, Miss Ruth Brigham and Miss Forence Stevens.
Navajo rugs, easy chairs and a profusion of potted tropical plants beautified the veranda and the spacious reception hall. A stringed orchestra aided in the delight of the luncheon by discoursing popular songs and operatic selections within a leafy thicket on the stair landing of the hall.”
