The large dancing hall had been so ar
tisticaily decorated with palms and flow

a gorgeous appearance. All the ladies
were attired in handsome gowns, and
with their happy, smiling faces and good
cheer they were surrounded by gallant
men or carried off in the maze of the
delightful waltz or the fascinating TWO

The decorations have probably never
been equaNed by any party given in this
city. In all the corners OF the spacious
room palms were arranged. giving the
effect Of a bank of green, the soft mel
low light falling On the verdure making
a contrast that was simply delightful.

ers were in profusion. Rich tapestry
fell in graceful folds from the two dress
ing rooms 70 the south, while the win
dovs were covered with handsome lace
curtains
The hosts and hostesses received their
guests at the far end Of the room on the
west side OF the hall. There encircled
by the ever present palm, standing on
white rugs. they greeted the guests in
a most gracious and pleasant manner.
In the southeast corner Of the room
punch was served under a large Japan
csc fan, which was INDUCED in by the
dancers after a pleasant waltz or schot-
tische.
On the east side Of the hall room had
been secured where those who We're de-
