PALMA CLUBS DANCE
A Fashionable Gathering at
the Annual Reeep-
ton.

The DlgS6SG social event Oh une season, bn0
annual reception of the Palma Club, took
place last night. Usually a reception of this
club falls on a night thoroughly unfit for
any being to go out. Palma Club receptions
and wet, cold dreary nights professed a close
affection for each other. Last night, how
ever, the weather was clear, cold and just as
If it had been ordered and as a consequences
there was a large attendance of the fashion
able sets of this society.
The clubhouse for days had been in the
hands of members who labored to make the
house as attractive as possible and it GER
tainly was a most attractive place. The
stairways and halls were covered with ever
greens and visitors had really a green lam
to walk between.
A BEAUTIFUL BALL ROOM.
Upstairs the sight was beautiful in the
extreme. The gymnasium, used as the ball
room, had been transformed into a huge
tent of white plated cloth, alternated with
strips of green, the effect of which was
artistic and peculiarly pleasing. From the
roof of the canopy depended a dozen clus-
tiers of electric lights. When the ladies in
their brilliant gowns began to whirl around
the room in the dance the view from the
gallery suggested a huge kaleidoscope.
In UQe cutlery was SuaulOlO0 uAO u
garian Band, which, during the intermis-
sions, played selections of popular music.
On the floor Cranmer's orchestra supplied
the dance music.
ELEGANTLY DECORATED.
Upstairs the old billiard room was turned
into the supper room. The ladies and gen.
tlemen's parlors, the library and card rooms
and with soft colored lamps these resorts
were as cozy and inviting for those who
didn't want to dance as they very well
could be.
About nine o'clock the the guests began to
arrive and at ten o'clock the rooms were
crowded. From this hour until far beyond
midnight the dancing was maintained.
