a large attendance from among the Four
Hundred and many new faces were OBJ
served among the spectators and active par
Elephants.
Special attention had been paid to the
decorations. AS the seasons blossom is
said to be lilac, this charming Hover was
made the keynote in the elaborate cOlOring.
Draperies, mauve and white, were feStOoned
in interlacing fashion on the balcony panels
and below WAS arranged material OF that
vivid green, which is the popularity of the
lilac TO iiage. From the gallery mOiding fell
large Japanese lanterns, and above waved
cloud OF streamerS, chiefly pink and white.
A biz bell, wrought of white and mauve
lilac clusters, nesting in their leaves,
formed the central ornament.
The stage was draped with the same vivid
green distinguishing the lower walls and
bordered with ported plants interspersed
with rare roses, carnations, wisteria, annun-
citation lilies and fragile fruit blossoms.
They made a lovely hedge to screen the
musicians.

any very surprising innovations. How
ever, the grand right and left" 'dou-
BILE columns, "coucentiic circles and other
fayorites brought cut 'the grace and beauty
of the ladies participating by their very IA
miliarity, and the rays of calcium light
enhanced the effect. The floor, it should be
mentioned, was canvased throughout, a de-
tail which WIS much appreciated. Another
attention, esteemed by the ladies, was the
tapestry Of ferns and arrangement OF cluS-
tiers of lilac and yellow banksia rose h0ughS
in their dressing-rooms. The figures, to the
music of Ballenberg, lasted till nearly mid
night when supper was served downstairs,
