FOR AN EASTERN GUEST,
DR.. and Mrs. Regensburger Give
a Dinner for Mrs.
Yerkes.
The Ladies of the Forum Preparing
for Their Initial Annual
Reception.

One of the most delightful and quite the
most elaborate affair of the past week
was the dinner given by DR.. and Mrs.
Martin Reeensburger on Thursday last at
their Clay-street residence, mplimentary
to Mrs. Yerkes of Chicago.
1t was essentially pink dinner. 1t ap-
peared at though all the gardens of Cali
fornia had been made to yield their wealth
to contribute to the numberless pink
roses that were used with artistic effect to
decorate the drawing.rooms, corridor and
dining hall.
Pink roses filled crystal and silver bowls.
nodded in costly vases, twined chande-
liers and banked the mantels and even the
dainty tables of the drawing-room.
No set form of decoration was adhered
to. On the table the flowers were ar
ranged with that negligent effect that be-
decorator.
Pink-shaded lamps and pink candles
were used solely for illumination and shed
a soft light on the tables and through the
various apartments on the ground floor.
The pink effect was carried out as far as
consistent in the menu, an elaborate and
delicious one. Covers were laid for twelve.
DR.. and Mrs. Regensburger have earned
quite reputation as the givers of charming
little dinners, at which one always finds
congenial company and some surprise either
in the menu or after dinner entertainment
