more original and artistic or in better taste IMAM
the arrangements and decorations and the small
tables set In the cafe. winter garden ana CORRIDOR
IN which the farcst blossoms were most advan-
,opeously disposed and around which SO many fair
women gathered that the poets dream might
have been realized at glance. There were more
new gowns than had been seen 'oge'her /" one
room anywhere this winter. The glitter OF SILVER
and gold on the womens dresses lent an ADDITIONAL
charm TO the ballroom and the display OF jewels

paran Stevens Mrs. William ID. Sloane. Mrs. Will
