Social Notes

The splendid home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. II. Clarke was the scene of most
charming and brilliant social event last
Thursday afternoon. The occasion was
the ladies' reception given by Mrs.
Clarke between the hours of 2 and D.
Fairhaven society cherishes recollec-
lions of many brilliant affairs, but the
many ladies who were so fortunate as
to enjoy the enlightened hospitality of
Mrs. Clarke declare that this was in
many features the most brilliant and
elaborate affair ever witnessed here.
The Clarke residence is one of the most
elegant and beautiful on Puget sound
and presented, with its richly finished
and furnished apartments, adorned and
decorated for the occasion and thronged
with the guests in beautiful and varied
toilettes, a scene of social splendour
and animation seldom witnessed. A
charming feature of the affair was the
profusion and loveliness of the inn
ported flowers. The decorations were
exceedingly artistic in design and de-
tail. The magnificent hall was decor
ated in a ground color of pink, with
carnations, Gala lilies and ferns. The
parlor was bower of roses. The din
ing room was dressed in yellow, with
happy blending of daffOdils, jonquils
and English ivy. The windows were
all shaded and the apartments arti-
ficially Illuminated, which added to
the splendor of the scene. Nothing
but superlatives can be applied to the
refreshments, which were served i'm the
dining room. The table was spread in
all the glory of silver, china and
damask, and the daintiest and most
delicious delicacies were served.
