the decorators. The ornamentation was
designed expressly for the occasion anC
arranged with incest skill. Six large
sky-blue streamers were stretched from
the center of the ceiling to the sides ano
corners of the hall and a group of en-.
twined wreaths formed a pretty anC
unique center-piece. The predominatine
colors of the decorations were gold, vel
low and blue, and the side was were ele.
gantly draped with folds ofyellow and golG
material. Golden Tyres were suspended
from the drapery, and the lace curtains
were given blueish tint by the drapings
which hid the windows from view Or
the wall over the music stand was
painted scene of huge rainbow peering
out from rolls of dark clouds The etfeci
was very pleasing, it being the first OBJ
n aC raA
hall. The door was draped with lace cur
tains and ornaments in keeping with The
remainder of the hall. The main door
was especially pretty, with its gorgeous
lace curtains and colored drapings, sur
mounted by cornices made of ancien
haiberts. The entrances to the door ant
stairway We're covered with canvas
Palms of various kinds and other pottet
plants placed on the music stand hid th
