The reception given last night by Mr.. and
Mrs Thomas Z. Waggaman in honor of Cardi-
liant event. From shortly after until long
past the house was thronged. Unfortunately
Monsignor Satolli was prevented by a slight
indisposition from being present, but his place
was taken by Bishop Keane who stood next the
cardinal to receive the guests. The reception
| was held in the picture gallery. Just back of
where the charming young hostess and the dis
| tinguished prelate stood the shining greens of
| the tall rubber plants in the conservatory made
| an effective background. The lights these were
shaded in red globes, making the playing waters
| in the fountain below it of a rosy hue also.
The entire scene amid such artistic surround
| ings was one not often reproduced in this city.
| The cardinal in his crimson robes and the glow
ing purple in the bishops cloak made OF them
| picturesque figures even in a room where the
| very walls glow with color. While the company
| was large there was SO much room in the draw
| ing rooms. library and dining room as well as
| in the upper and lower picture galleries that at
| no time was there the least crowding. The
house was everywhere decked with scarlet
tulips. They banked the mantels and filled the
! center Of the refreshment table.
| Mrs. Waggaman had on an elegant gown of
white satin, yelled in jetted net, and a necklace
| Of large soittaires was worn. Mrs. Waggaman,
her mother, and Miss LIE Buef of New Orleans,
