Miss Stokey Honors Miss Echols, Fiance At Buffet Supper
Miss Kathleen Stokey was hostess at a buffet supper last evening at her home on Rockmont drive in compliment to Miss Nell Echols and William S. Burks Jr., of Birmingham, Ala., whose marriage will be an event of social importance taking place this evening at 6 o'clock at the Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist church. The affair followed the wedding rehearsal and assembled the members of the Echols-Burks wedding party and the guests from a distance who have arrived for the wedding.
The home was decorated for the occasion with quantities of Christmas greens and the beautifully appointed buffet table reflected the Yuletide motif of crimson and green. The hostess was assisted in entertaining her guests by her parents, Colonel and Mrs. W. P. Stokey. Miss Stokey will serve as maid of honor for Miss Echols this evening.
Among the out-of-town guests who are in the city to attend the wedding are Mr. and Mrs. William S. Burks Sr., of Birmingham, parents of the groom-elect; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Burks, Miss Evelyn Baty and Miss Carolyn Forman all of Birmingham; Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Creager, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., brother and sister of the groom-to-be; Mrs. F. W. Meldau, of Detroit, Mich.; Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Burge, Miss Cornelia Burge, Edward Burge and Miss Eleanor Burge, all of Urbana Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton McWhorter and Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Marchmon, of Lexington, Ga.; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wright, of Birmingham.
