IN SOCIAL LIFE

The decorations were most elaborate and
artistic in every detail. Every conceiva-
b!. nook and corner was hidden with
palms, potted plants or ferns. The
veranda was festooned with smilax from
pillar to pillar. and potted plants and
long branches OF bamboo gave most
pleasing effect to the whole. Each room
showed evidence of the taste of an
artistic hand. In the hall sweet pink
peas and smilax were used effectively
The chandelier was concealed by these
dainty blossoms. and radiating from this
and reaching to the four corners of the
walls we're heavy ropes of smilax. Masses
of sweet peas were on mantel and tables,
asparagus fern, red roses and potted
plants made the drawing room bright and
levely; great clusters OF roses were ar
baskets and bowls. In the punch room
trailing branches of white roses
made a delicate tracery over the
walls. the mantel was msssed
with these with blending of green. The
dining room was beautiful ana fragrant
with PINK carnations intermingled with
maiden hair fern. These almost entirely
covered thejbuffet, with streamers of light
green ribbon running in and out among
the clusters. Pink carnations graced the
center OF the large table and were on the
small tables about the room. Pendent
from the ceiling was an immense basket.
overfiowing with carnations and maiden
hair ferns. Potted palms, plants and
hanging baskets converted the rear porch
into a veiitable fairy land. The side walls
were solid mass of brilliant nasturtiums.
Near the steps of the porch was stationed
the Catalina.Oand, enhancing the pleasure
OF the afternoon with their delightful
music. Mrs. Patton was assisted in re-
