lue New Year was never WelcOfneU Dy
party of merry-makers amidst more beau
iful and artistic surroundings than the
guests who were hidden to the home of
Hun. and Mrs. Wilbur Parker on Orchard
avenue last night in honor of the approach
ing marriage of Miss Geneveve Mark to
Jack Jevne. An elaboraie dinner was fol-
lowed by dance. The many uuique and
original ideas that we're carried out made
,he evening replete with pleasure and long
TO be remembered by the many guests
present. Covers were laid for sixteen, and
the long table about which the guests were
seated WAS a symposium of beauty that
oesgars description. billowy mass of
violet chiffon almost completely covered
the table. Two fla' mirrors near the cen-
ter of The table reflected miniature cano-
ues of asparagus fern that made dainty
yelling over vioiets and fairy lamps, and
extending from the edge of these were al
terate wide and narrow pink satin rib
bons bearing the guests names in gold let
ters. The same pretty concei was carried
out at either end OF the tablr, only he g
silver candelabra holding pink candles
and graceful bows formed the beau iful
center from which The ribbons reached.
Small cut glasses in which were fragrant
La France roses were at intervals over the
chiffon were clusters of violets and fairy
lamps in d ,zz,ing confusion. Clusters of
vllets were at each guests plate and the
lights fIon the chandelier were filtered
through wreattis OF piuK crepe roses. The
only yuecoration5 about the rom was
double heart of pink carnations that re-
posed on the wall. Beautiful Dresden
china praced the table. and the ices we're
formed into pink roses and violet colored
butter flies. A pretty innovation during the
serv NJ of the delectable menu was the
presenting the bride-elect with her we'd

delightful music for dancing. reatis of
holly tied with red ribbon made graceful
nnlSh over pictures and streafner falling
to either side. Red shaded caniles en-
bedi!ed in holly on the mantel threw a mel
