Reception and Dancing Party.

Mrs. John f. Barnard's reception for Miss
Van Patten of Des Moines and her daughter,
Miss FredericlSa Barnard on Monday, was
one of the prettiest functions of the season.
The house, 1919 Cass street, was handsomely
decorated for the occasion, pink being the
predominating color, the lamps being shaded
by pink crepe paper, with here and there
huge clusters of la France roses and carna-
tions to add brightness to the very pretty
home. The dining room table, at which
Miss Lemist and Miss McClelland poured
chocolate and served boullion, was exquisite
in its artistic decoration, a handsome cut
glass rose bowl standing in the center filed
with Ia France roses, with roses scattered
loosely over the cloth. Four pretty silver
candlesticlts occupied the corners, shaded as
the chandeliers.
Mrs. Barnard wore q pretty gray brocade,
richly trimmed with lace.
Miss Van Patten was finely gowned in
pink mousseline de sole over pink Sa tin, a
becoming color to her fresh young face,
which is full of character and intelligence.

muslin trimmed with lace and blue ribbons.
