Now that flowers are a scarce
commodity, a pretty conceit that
comes from up the Hudson, may

table decorations. The following
mode of table ornamentation was
used at a so-called "Paper Lun

In the centre of the polished ma

we're placed at the corners of the
table, md the light shed a rose
glow around the pink shades, where

rope paper. This was filled with
bon bons. Txiste about the

twisted about the handle; but of

the paper baskets received them.

with long vines of apple blossoms
trailing over it. They we're made

The Hobson Auditorium was
opened on Thursday night with
great eclat. The site and arrange
ment of the dancing pavilion is
splendid. Brilliantly lighted and
fairly crowed with Waco's elite who
danced the night away to the beauti-
full music of the Little Five, the
auditorium made its debut under
the most favorable auspices. Mr..
Mattox led over forty couples with
the greatest ease through the May
figures of the cotillion. The ladies
