rated with pink and blue cheesecloth
drapings. to which were added touches of
smlax. ferns and palms.
Huber's orchestra of fifteen pieces was
hidden on the stage behind bank of palm
trees and ferns, which were interspersed
with chrysanthemums. No other flowers
we're used In the decorations.
Below the green bank on the stage hung
pink drapings of cheesecloth on a white
ground and around the front of the GAL
leries the drapings were pink and blue. AT
intervals on the walls under the galleries
were modest twigs of ferns in the center of
festoons of blue.
From the ceiling hung a mammoth
japanese beach umbrella, surrounded by
smaller ones. with an occasional twig of
fern between them.
From the street entrance in the main
hall clear back to the stage In the ball
room carpet of snow-wnite canvas broke
the football The three chandeliers in the
hallway were adorned with simple tufts
of smilax. Under the strong electric light
the effect was very striking and one real
lied that Decorator Mckay had made a
beautiful showing as much by his knowl-
edge OF knowing where and when not TO
decorate as by the decorations themselves.
1t was an ultra society affair throughout.
Only members of the club were present,
and these include the most fashionable
people of the city. Mr.. Greenway, who
had worked Zealously to make the affair
all that it was. had many compliments be-
slowed upon him bv the members, and
they were we'll deserved.
Not until 10 O'Clock did the dancing be-
gin. Supper was served downstairs at
IL 80 O'Clock, and exquisite liquid refresh
meuts were served during the evening to
the dancers.
There were no square dances. Only the
n svvtt.A nf ~ he IL
best of all, the deuXtemps, were on the
programme, and no additions or subtrac-
tions from this order was made or de-
sired.
Many very handsome costumes were
worn at this occasion for the first time, and
all OF the ladies were very attractively and
becominglv dressed.
The debutantes were: Miss Collier.
Miss Smedberg, Miss Fanny Croker. Miss
Ella Hobart, Miss Sophie Coleman. Miss
Katharine Jones. Miss Mclean and Miss
Miriam Moore.
1t was long after midnight when the
dancing ceased and the carriages began to
roll along the streets toward the canopied
entrances to the Cotillion Clubs new hall.
The members expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the event. and from the
many expressions of approval heard it is
quite certain that Golden Gate Hall will
continue to be the scene of these gay
luuCtiOuS SOlu6 tif06 10 COME.
OF course, the continuance of the club
at this hall will necessitats the continued
restriction Of the mem bership. but this will
scarcely be regretted by those who are
already members. With few exceptions
the club already holds in its ranks the So
ciety people of the city, and under the
present rules only the near relatives of
present members are eligible as new men,
bers. The debutantes last season were,
without exception, the sisters of those
who blossomed out into polite society, and
the same was true Of the buds Of this sea-
son.
