Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey w. Brown
Give Magnificent Reception.
A delightful society event occurred
last night at the West hotel. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey W. Brown were the host
and hostess, and the reception was in a
chrysanthemum ball. There were about
500 of the elite society people of the city
present. The floral decorations formed
the notable feature of the ball, and
justified the unique title given to the
occasions. The whole of the second
floor was thrown open and used by the
party, and in every portion OF the
spacious parIors and reception rooms
flowers in endless variety of arrange
ment and design. and in every apart
ment crySanthemums of varied tints
were the prevailing flower. The en-
trance to the ball room was walled on
either side with a profusiOn of the
beautiful flowers en- maSSe, while
the waving plants in bloom arched
the way. The ball room itself was
respondent in its beautiful decorations.
The head of the hall was covered with
the display. Palms formed the center
piece, while on one side was a lattice of
SmvlaX. covered with golden crySanthe-
NUNS, and on the other was an enor-
nous, but delicate, design of the same.
Palms and crySanthemumS lined the
walls. In every possible nook and cor
ner the decorations were lastly placed.
In the parlorS were great banks of the
flowers, with an endless variety of de-
cOrations in banked mantels and Table
and wall designs. The great dining
room served as the ballroom, while the
ladies' ordinary and the adjoining cor
ridorS was the place where the prettily
decked tables were set for the elaborate
refreshments that were served to the
dancers. DanZ'S orchestra furnished
music for the dance in the ball room and
enlivened the reception rooms as we'll
by detachment stationed in the outer
corridor. The party was a delightful
gathering of the first society people of the
city. The costumes of the ladies were
many OF them extremely elaborate and
all were beautiful. The dancing pro-
gramme consisted of seventeen num-
beers and the scene in the bail room was
one of life and enhancing beauty. The
party is one of the few given by private
persons in the magnificent apartments
of the West hotel, aud will be memoir
able event.
