BELL
The reception given by the Alta club
last evening was a magnificent success.
II vas thought the reception given a
year ago could not be surpassed in ele-
gance, but it was patent that this was
an improvement upon it in several par
ticulars. Chief among these was the
fact that the number of guests was
smaller. hence the assemblage was
more comfortable.
The space from the curbstone to the
entrance of the Dolly block was car
peted and protected by. awning. The
elevator decorated with evergreen and
the national co1ors, conducted the
guests to the fifth floor where were
the large and comfortable dressing
rooms.
The sixth floor, which is occupied
by the club, presented a beautiful
succession of interiors. Potted palms
added their stately beauty TO the ele-
CANT rooms. Smilax trailed above the
mirrors.
Chrvsa Hthemums were massed here
and there in artistic confusion, Roses
and carnations added their delicate
beauty and rare fragrance. Each of
the tables had a, handsome centerpiece
of rare flowers and about one of them
was trailed a vine of ivy. Among the
decorations the legend Alta Club" in
white hyacinths on a background of
moss and ferns was noticeable. EX-

The four hundred guests were gra-
ciouSly received by the genial presl-
dent of the club. Mr. Richard Mackin-
tosh, assisted by Mrs. Macintosh, Mrs
W. S. Mccormick, Mrs. Margaret
Blaine Salisbury, Mrs. M. c. Fox and
Miss Mccormick.
The Petersen orchestra was stationed
in one of the central rooms and dis
coursed delightful music throughout
the evening. The card room was con-
verified into a ball room and many en-
joyed the pleasures Of the dance. The
billiard room also proved attractive to
both ladies and gentlemen. The smok-
ing room was usually empty as the
beauty of the ladies present proved
irresistible and the weed was for
gotten.
