glove" parlor, and is known to comprise
some of the most eligible members of the
order. Their entertainments are ALWAYS
singularly recherche and finished, so that
invitations were much sought after.
On the present occasion the parlor fairly
eclipSed itself. The only drawback had
seemed the downpour Of rain, and the
gallant native sons would have liked to
have stretched canopy over the entire city
to protect their lady guests en- route to the
hall. This being out of their power owing,
doubtless, to the short notice given by
Jupiter Pluvius. they CALAMITY sent car
riages for the ladies, and the rain appar-
emily had no effect at all ON the attendance.
From their carriages to the main door
large canvas canopy protected the arrivals,
admitting them to scene of peculiar beauty
within. There was nothing ha ,kneyed
about the decorations. Over the stage was
the clubs title, stanford" in silver letters,
entangled in charming lattce-work of
ribbons, while lanterns and rows of
Japanese bric-a-brac filled out the pretty
design. Banks of exotics screened the
musicians, and from the roof depended
light clusters Of ferns and cnriously
fashioned lanterns. against a background
of lght-blue, pink and white draperies,
festooned in overlapping curves all round
the balconies. The same dainty, light
colored materials tapeStried the walls, and
fell beliying down from dome to eave-line
