Eighteen hundred and ninety-seven had
an suspicious beginning. certainly for
those who were guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
John SHELTON Williams on Thursday
night. IL was an egg-nogg party this
time. Mrs. Williams entertainments al
ways have a bright individual touch
somewhere in the details. Thursday night
it was the decorations OF the dining
room. Holly struck the keynote, and
all other decoration was in harmony with
its deep red and green. Running cedar
was fcstooned upon the walls, and holly
caught up with ii at intervals by vivid
red ribbon precisely matching I'm color
the red OF the holly berries. In the CEN
tire Of the table small pine tree. per-
feet in its proportion and slOping beau
tifullv TO point had red ribbon caught
between the-tiny branches. The effect
OF the decoration in this room was
vivid and essentially seasonable one.
Zach guest was given n bouquet Of holly
tied with red ribbon.
In the pariOrs The decorations were Of
running cedar. holly palms. roses. and
hyacinths. with q mammoth cluster Of
mistletOe suspended by white ribbons be-
tween the rooms. Mrs Williams. wearing
a white dress with red ribbons and holly
was the graceful spirit Of Christmas in
carnatc. and her gay welcome gave the
final touch TO pleasure. supper was
served at 10 oclock-as 1897 came IN.
