ments OF the week was that given las
evening by Mrs. E. A. Preuss and be
sister, Mrs. G. Schumscheg. at thei
home, ia North Broadway, to NEE
Chevalier de Kontski. The decoration
were elaborate and artistic. A smal
rope made OF fronds of fine ferns an
Bougainvilla blossoms was festoone'
from the chsndaIier in the drswing-roon
diagonally across to the picture mould
ing, thence to the curtains in the bay
window; the mantel was banked with
the Same ferns and blossoms aad sprayI
OF the Bougainvilla were led up The
side and across the top OF the casing o.
the folding doors that led into the music
room; the same scheme OF decoration
was carried out in the latter room, ex-
oept that it was made OF emilax and
stevia and pink carnations; the gas,
lamp and candle shades were pink, and
the curtains at the windows in both
rooms were covered with a tracery OF the
delicate green's and blossoms; In the
dining-room the ooloring was yellow /:
bignonia venasta. with its feathery
green, was in abundance everywhere,
ami the shades of gas ami candle were
OF canary tissue paper. The coloring Of
tine gas lamp shades in the hall
was red, boughs of pepper con-
cealed the banisters, and the effect
of the subdued light in the different
rooms was most effective and delight
full. The early part OF the evening was
devoted to music, an informal pro-
gramme of vocal music being rendered
by Mesdames Albert Carlos Jones. Schal.
