The Real Estate Broker’s Pink Wedding: A Seattle Socialite’s Grand Entrance

THE SOCIAL REALM.

The Reception at Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Kittinger’s.

The most successful event of the week was the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Kittinger, Thursday afternoon, at their residence, Fifth and Columbia streets. The large number of guests were received by the hostesses, appointed by Mrs. V. J. Grant, Miss Whitney and Miss Anna Sparling, and the reception was held from 2 o'clock until 5 in the evening.

The occasion served as the announcement of the betrothal of Miss Whitney, of Montreal, to Mr. C. H. Kittinger, the well-known real estate broker in this city. The decorations were of a character befitting the occasion, all emblematic of the emotions experienced and the pleasures made before the first steps of married life are strewn with a shower of rice and slipper. Roses, ferns, smilax and wreaths of ivy were gracefully placed, and the soft light gave a most happy effect to the prevailing pink hues predominating in the attractive and luxurious parlors. The damask covering usually underlying urn and tea sets was replaced by a handsome spread of pink, on which appeared a pink service, pink ice cream—and other dainties, no less pleasing to the eye than they proved to be to the palate.

The long line of equipages outside the residence gave a metropolitan aspect to the affair, and would have excited interest even in the fashionable Gotham itself. The following is a list of the invited guests: Mrs. Thomas Burke, Mrs. P. Kellogg, Mrs. W. K. Haller, Mrs. W. A. Hasbrouck, Mrs. Ebert Smith, Mrs. W. H. Taylor, Mrs. M. V. Stacey, Mrs. V.
