teed to meet all deficiencies. There are
five announcements for the first three
days. From that the list stretches on at
such a rate that one may safely say that
the season has fairly begun.
On October IA Mrs. Schroeder's dancing
class will open its season with an evening
reception at Foye Hall. The class has
grown to occupy a high place In society,
especially in that of the younger set, and
invitations to the opening reception will
be highly treasured. Prof. William FIT
Rivers of Brooklyn, familiar to everyone
in society across the Bridge. will be in
charge during the winter.
THE PALMA's FEAST
The Palma Club opened the season last
Tuesday night with it's anniversary re-
ceptlon. In fact, it threw the season
wide open. such an impetus did it give by
the scale on which operations were con-
Quoted and the success with which they
were crowned.
The clubhouse was one blaze of light,
with Japanese lanterns hung outside
every window, and every available bit of
gas, lamps or electricity turned on as far
as 1t would 60. The entrance hall and
supper room, on the ground floor, were
decorated with garlands of oak leaves.
interspersed with stalks of Grim son gladi-
olus, while the reception parlor5 Were
beautiied with growing palms and smi-
lax. The bail room was one mass of
flags, covering the walls. depending from
the doors and surrounding the
large copy Of the Horse Fair
to the right of tie entrance. Wh-e
bunting, starred with gold. was %festooned
from the ceiling. and the balcony was
draped in pale blue, studded with Stars.
On the wall were the words Palma Club,
1885," in gas Jets. Festivities began early
and the floor was well filled for the first
waltz at about half past nine. After the
fourth dance MI. George A. Heaney was
introduced, and fulfilled his duties as his
torian by giving an interesting sketch of
the clubs life. from the time when It
started as "a rifle gallery in a paint shop"
to its present time of rejoicing. Mr..
Heaney's speech. which was delivered
without notes, was frequently interrupted
by laughter and applause. and although
he was heard 10 remark on leaving the
rostrum that he was "glad that was over"
no one else agreed with him. Among the
eight hundred guests present were some of
the prettiest young women, wearing the
prettiest gowns, that have appeared at
any similar function. There was Miss
Lillian Pearsall, in pale blue silk and
lace; Miss Mary Albeit, in pink lowered
silk and chiffon; Miss Tnalia Newton, in
pale blue; Miss Post. in white muslin
and pink; Miss Sadie Traphagen, in yell
low and white striped silk, and Miss Myra
Watson, in white satin-strired silk with
gold and white chiffon. In fact. every
body who had returned TO town was
! there. and some who had returned GU
purpose.
