reputation. IN the way of receptions by this,
which may be fairly said to have been rival
led only by the reception during the De
%cennial Week. The rooms take kindly to
floral decorations, and there was no, stint in
these. The halls were especially effective,
from the heavy hangings of green and the
banks of flowers on the stair-landings. The
| gymnasium, too, had a temporary ceiling of
white canvas, alternating with garlands OF
| green. so as to simulate an immense tent,
from which depended many clusters of in
candescent lights. Supper was served in the old
billiard room, and the rest OF the upper rooms
were used for .'overf1ow meetings. from the
ballroom downstairs. The Hungarian Band
played for the promenade and Cranmer's
men for dancing. There were many beauti-
full toilets worn, and almost every one OF the
young matrons and all the unmarried ladies
were dancing at some time during the even
ing, so that the floor, looking down from the
balcony, was always a fascinating sight.
There were several other large receptions
during the week, of a ~semi-public nature,
that is not held in private houses. OF these
the one given by the Alumni Association of
the Hoboken High School, which took place
at Qnartette Club Hall N Tuesday night,

dancers, and its graceful little balconies
filed with lookers-on. The opening march

Child with Miss Abel.
There was another brilliant affair the mex
night in the same hall, when the Valencia
| Orchestra gave its annual concert, which
was followed by a large reception.
The charity entertainment given the same
| night at the Hoboken Theatre deserves to be
classed as a social event, since it was planned
and executed under the supervision of re-
| cognized Hoboken society. Miss Eugene A.
Thomas was at the head of the enterprise,
and such names as Stevens, UtZ, Alexander,
Jenvey, Ketcham and Leeds upon the list of
of patronesses, shows how well Hoboken's
| social element was represented. The enter
tainment comprised tableaux representing
famous pictures, alternating with music and
a little dancing, the latter by little Miss
Louise Selleek and Baby Kenney."
