Mariana Elizabeth Hoffman, 3 months, was the center of attention at her grandmother, Susan Hoffman’s party.

Hoffman invited friends to come by and meet the baby. Mariana wore a pink dress edged at the sleeves and collar in lace.

A large bouquet of pink peonies was on the tea table (the party was in the afternoon from 2 until 4 p.m.) and tea sandwiches, tarts filled with chicken salad and cookies were served.

At the party were Peter Hoffman, Drew Hoffman, Teresita Hoffman, Isabella Hoffman, Bette MacKellar, Ann Felton Gilliland, Linda Reece, Sue Homsey, Mary FitzSimons, Christy Everest, Marilyn Law, Linda James, Marsha See, Pam Smith, Sarah Dorr, Sally Bentley, Libby Payne, Linda Klos, Kaye Cook, Jeanne Hoffman Smith and Mary Reneau.
