ciety events and TO the large number q
military sun in the city the arrival OF
President and Mrs. Mckinley with sew
eral members of his staff and cabinet and
their wives created a great stir in all cir
cles. Several dinners and luncheons had
d. been planned ia honor of the
President and Mrs. Mckinley,
and it was learned with regret
that the President would be present at no
private entertainments.
The weeks gaiety commenced Mon

reception and ball given by Mr
and Mrs. George Turner Cam, and Miss
Anusette Stubs at the De SOTO, the ban
squet hall and drawing rooms of which were
used exclusively for the entertainment
The beautiful rooms Of the hotel so well
adapted to an occasion of this kind were
lavishly decorated. Tan palms were placed
IN all the window alcoves of the long hall,
the walls were covered with bamboo, a
heavy screen Of which across one entire
end of the room hid the musicians, and the
chandeliers with their pink shaded lights
were tvined with wild smiax. The private
dining room and the ladies' drawing room
were used for the supper and were perhaps
even more beautifully decorated than the
dancing hall Large tables surrounded by
smaller ones were placed in each Of these
rooms. and in the hall which was a bower
of green, other tables were placed later
In the evening so that All the guests were
comfortably seated for supper. The flowers
were pink. being chiefly La France roses,
ana the same color. which has been pop
ular one for balls this week, shaded the
lamps candles and electric lights. The
four rooms on the Southern side of the
han were used for dressing rooms and
that entire portion of the hotel was shut
off so that the entertainment was as pri-
vate as possible.
Mr.. and Mrs Cam and
Miss Stubs received their guests in front
of the great fire place in the dancing hall.
Mrs. Cam was beautifully dressed in
black net over a gray blue taffeta. The
skirt fell in a deep Spanish flounce above
which the net was trimmed with appliqued
chenille and crystal with which the bodice
was also trimmed. Her bouquet was OF La
France roses. Miss Stubs, who is one OF
this seasons most attractive debutantes,
wore an exquisite gown of white Liberty
silk. Three deep accordion-pleated rutftes
edged with face almost covered the skirt,
and the bodice which was trimmed with
crystal was a mass of tiny accordion
pleated ruffles all finished with narrow
lace and sloping from each side in front
TO a point at the waist, around which was
a sash of the silk falling to the bottom OF
the skirt. The immense bouquet Miss
Stubs carried was OF La France Mare
chal Neil and Bride roses. Among the 9th
