largely attended social gatherings
that has ever graced the tri-cities.
The spacious. long time home Of the
Weyerhausers was gorgeous in its
decorations of flowers and vines.
Chrysanthemums we're the favored
flowers, but the display was by no
means limited to this variety.
Among the profusion and wealth Of
lovely fragrance smilax was grace
fully interviewer and this pred omi-
mated in the formation of lovely
screen, back of which an orches-
ira was stationed whose strains
enlivened the scenes upon the entire
first floor. In the dining room
American beauties we're chief
among the flowers which enriched
the occasion, and an immense clus-
ter of which on the center table of
the dining table was of most superb
effect. There were other similar
center pieces designed with ex-
quisite taste and to which nature had
contributed such kindly cooperation.
Festoons of smilax and roses orpa-
mented each doorway, while the
halls. drawing rooms and library
as we'll as the dining room
contributed to the same gorgeous,
yet artistic combination Of floral
beauty. The appointments through
out the house we're in keeping with
the extensive but uniformly tasty
design of the arrangements.
Refreshments we're served ia the
dining and library rooms, the Gu
sine being a feature, while the third
floor was given over to dancing, an
orchestra being at the service of
those who availed themselves of this
mode of enjoyment.

Messrs. and Mesdames S. S. Davis,
T. B. Davis, j. p. Weyerhauser and
Rudolph NJ. Weyerhauser, while Mr.

memories Of all attending.
