| ering it is particularly memorable. Mrs.

/ in everything. The decorations were neither
too scan. nor lavish. Green and white were
| the prominent colors Great festoons of
feathery asparagus covered the walls and
| ceiling of the club rooms, and profuse guam
titles of cut flowers and potted plants added
all that was necessary to give the decora-
| tious the air of originality that won many
compliments for the hostess. The tables
were garnished in green The whole
| presented a most harmonious and pleasing
| effect Claret punch was served throughout
| the evening and dainty refreshments during
the intermissions. A full orchestra furnished
! the music. The program provided for
| eighteen numbers and the dancing was kept
| up to late hour The wide verandas around
! the boat houses afforded delightful resting
places where the dancers could get beauti-
| full views of the shimmering moonlight on
