The interior of the Berkeley Club House
last evening was a beautiful, shifting
panorama. From the first to the third
floor, its recently r~efurnished rooms, con-
nected in most instances by curtalned
arches, were filed with a brilliant party.
Flowers, ferns and S yuthern exotics ex-
hailed a delightful fragrance. They graced
the white marble mantels and facings OF
the reception room and parlors. They
were scattered in promiscuous confusion
everywhere. Strains of music from Prof.
Dittmar's orchestra, stationed in the hall
way below, were waited throughout the
building. 1t was a scene of inspira-
tion. The members of the Berke-
ley were proud. They had
a right to be. Their wives, sisters and
sweethearts, whom they had invited to in
spect their new club quarters and partici-
pate in their second annual reception, with
one accord voted the affair a success, and
rapturously exclaimed upon the taste and
magnificence of the clubs apartments.
A superb collation. was served at mid
night by the famous Mazetti. The table
was a dream of beauty. A silver vase
holding a bouquet of lilies, tulips and
roses was the centre piece. At each end
were silver candelabras with pink shades.
A three-foot salmon, embellished with
artificial flowers moulded from vegetables,
rested in a dish of jelly, and occupied a
conspicuous location. Salads, sweetmeats
and bon bons were artistically and tempt
ingly arranged. Coffee was served from
the most delicate of chinas and ham
agnes flowed abundantly. Dancing con-
tinued till two a. m.
