of white verbenas, white rose buds, with
delicate fronds of the maidenhair ferns
and dainty sprays of the japanese maple.
The corsage bouquets were tied with
broad, green ribbon the color of the fern.
The boutonnieres were a single rosebud
and leaf. The favors were tiny silver
swans drawing gold-lined silver shells
filled with a sprig of verbena and fern.
The center-piece was composed of the
most exquisite ferns eye ever beheld,
intermingled with the delicate white ver
benas, from the four corners of which
radiated, in graceful curves, long fronds
of ferns. On each end are candelabra
filled with transparent green and white
sperm tapers; also decorations of drawn
woven work looking to be from the hand
of Penelope herself. The table is ready
to serve the first course, and the bouillon
cups this is to be served in are truly a
delight to the eye, being Dresden china
Of the eggshell order, beautifully dec
Grated.
A betrothal dinner table will be spread
today by the same ladies', and those
looking for unique decorations will not
be disappointed.
A marked improvement which met
with universal commendation, was the
raising of the bunting suspended from
the Eiffel tower, so that spectators could
see the stage from the upper gallery.
For tonight the entertainment will
consist of exhibition drill and gymnastic
exercises by the Harvard military school
and the juvenile classes of the Turn
| Nereln Germania.
Awards of premiums will be made this
evening for potted flowers and roses,
