fairy-liks scene which was revealed to the
delighted gaze Of the representative gath
ering of wealth and beauty which graced
Odd Fellows Hall last evening. Even
society marveled that four walls, sur
mounted by ceiling, could be so thor
oughly transformed and be made to
hide their identity so completely that
no one, with the exception per-
haps of the deft decorator, could
possibly recall the appearance of the
pretty little ballroom before it had under
gone the process OF transformation. The
Friday Night Club was determined that
the Christmas german should excel all
previous efforts. with the result that the
hitherto Incompatible first assembly of
the season in the same hall was completely
0vershadowed in every conceivable par
ticular. The decorations were costly and
elaborate. the electric effects were simply
bewildering and the array of charming
debutantes was calculated TO display to the
best advantage San Francisco's most
beautiful specimens Of budding woman
hood.
Truly it was dream of fair women.
IL is very seldom that so many buds so
gorgeously and faultlessly attred are seen
| together at dance, in fact it's only at the
Christmas cotillion that sight such as
that of last evening Is witnessed. 1t was
dazzling In the extreme. As function it
was the most exclusive of its kind. An
appearance at this gathering is equivalent
to an introduction to society. and flatter-
ing introduction indeed was 1t for the fair
ones present in such goodly numbers a t.
tired in such rich raiment.
The floor was absolutely given up to
debutantes, who received kind of bap-
tsm into social duties that they are not
likely to forget. Everything was In keep
ing with the season and the event 1t is
understood that the initial Friday Night
assembly is especially arranged for the in
PRODUCTION OF the debutante, and the colors
of decorations are In consequence light,
creamy and Of a generally cheerful charac-
ter. The first german, on the other hand,
finds the "bud" full-fiedged member of
tbs exclusive social set. and she partici-
pates, presumably for the first time, in the
fascinating cotillion. The prevailing col
ors, therefore. are Of sligntly darker
hue rich carmine and colored electric
globes taking the place of Nile green
and the pale incandescent. The effect
produced on the present occasion will long
be remembere
From the central chandelier was sus-
pended at distance of few feet from
the frescoed ceiling a circular frame of
heavy brass wire. From this were hung
innum cradle long peDnants of carmine
and cream colored cheese-cloth, every
other one of which was drawn toward
the sides of the room by invisible wire. A
very pretty floral bell studded with colored
electric lights was placed in the center of
the canopy so formed and tiny Japanese
lanterns ranged in circle below gave a
very charming effect to the center.
The railing surrounding the gallery was.

figures. And then. little by little. the
series of circles unwound themselves, as 1t
were. and dissolved to the strains of "a

make very effective picture.
Then came the pretty Grecian cross

Commencing with q plain hollow square,
the participants gradually formed a Gre

very pretty picture TO the onlooker.
The dancers appeared to be lost in maze

derneath the gallery as well as the
base OF the stage were also festooEed with

were really the browning specimens Of the
decorators art. The former was COM
pletely concealed with a profusi0n of
choice pOtted plants, including several
stately palms and number of huge vases
filed with cut flowers. At the end of the
stage two artistic lamps were placed,
topped with gorgeous shades of deep red,
the soft rays of which lent fascinating
charm to the scene.
TO an observer from the floor below, the
east end of the gallery resembled an ex-
Otic garden hung with fairy lamps and
handsome Chinese lanterns. The uninvit-
lug rows OF chairs were nowhere to be
seen. but in their stead refreshing green
foliage. draped at happy intervals with
graceful folds of carmine and eream-col-

now before Congress. He does not say
that he disfayors all funding bills, but DID,
jects to the present one because he thinks
that on the basis of per cent. as pro-
posed. there would be nothing left for the
stock holders. and he thinks the bond
holders have bsen having things all their
own way long enough.
Another thing with which the foreign
stockholders are dissatisfied is the present
law by which the Southern Pacific oper.
ates the Central Pacific. Under the old
annual dividends. but under the operation
of the present contract not dollar goes
out for that purpose. The reason for this,
Sir Charles says. is that although the
foreign holders own majority of the
stock it is unregistered, and as conse-
querce they had no voice in the making of
the present laws, and, in fact, their wishes
were not consulted when that document
was under consideration.
Sir Charles says he comes to California
to study the situation from all standpoint is.
He has had a full explain alton of the situa-
ton from the railroad side of the question,
and now he is willing and anxious to hear
anybody else who can thrown any light
upon the matter. These remarks applied 10
part to a remark made relative to the report
that the Southern Pacific officials were
diverting trade 20 the southern line to the
detriment of the Central. II this be the
case, Sir Charles said, he wanted to find it
out, and would be only too glad for in
formation upon that point
Sir Charles appears to have been strongly
impressed by the exhibition of California's
products made by the Chamber of Com
analogies between the climate of Egypt
and that of Southern California, and also
in the fertility, productiveneso and flora OF
the two sections.
Sir Charles and his party are at the Pal
ace. where they will remain during their
stay in this city. On Christmas day they
will go down to Del Monte and eat turkey
with the folks in that hostelry.

were looked for from the sound and else
where, none had been received up to 6

Captain IT. P. II. Whitelaw had some
thing of interest to say concerning the

OF the strength of the missing collier. and
replied that she was as strong craft as
wood and iron could make her.
