SOCIAL LIFE

There has seldom been given here a
more delightful, artistic and enjoyable
afternoon than the musicale with which
Mrs. Charles c. Carpenter entertained a
large number of her friends yesterday.
Her charming home on Twenty
street was beautifully decorated with
calla lilies and their leaves, smilax ano
roses
In the spacious entrance hall are num-
ber of columns OF fine light wood which
were trimmed with garlands of lilies from
top to bottom. From this hall open a
large library and dining rooms on one
side which also open into one another,
and a reception room on the other; over
each of the doorways is a fretwork OF
wood, which was entwined with dainty
strands of smilax, and little tendrils
dropped below, just clearing the heads OF
the guests.
On stands and mantels, piano and book
cases stood handsome vases and cut glass
bowls, filled with exquisite roses and
more lilies and in the hall a rare Satsuma
punch bowl was placed on a stand and
hlled with champagne punch.
Daylight was excluded and the house
was brilliantly lighted with gas and
lamps. The piano was placed in the bay
window of the dining room, and chairs
were placed in all the rooms and hall,
where the guests were seated as they
arrived.
Mrs. Carpenter was assisted in receiving
by Mesdames J. S. Owens, Shelley Toll
hurst, A. G: Jones and Misses Blanche
Rogers and Mary Gray.
Mesdames L. A. Lewis Ridgway and
Taylor, assisted by seating the guests, and

harmonious unison, each holding

out, their voices dying away in the dis
