SAN BERNARDINO, June 22.-One Of
the most elaborate receptions ever given In

residence Of James Fleming on Seventh
street in honor of Mrs. Charles r. Hudson

of this city, when she was known as Amy
Willis, the daughter of the late Judge Will
lis. The spacious grounds and house Of
Mr.. Fleming were blaze of electric lights
The entrance hall was in red, with carna-
lions and color everywhere, backed with the
delicate tracery of ferns. The parlors,
where Mrs. Fleming and Mrs. Hudson re-
oeived, were in pink with sweet peas, carna-
lions and La France roses over tracery
of ferns. In the back parlor the prevailing
color was yellow, with coreopsis and mas
turtiums in banks on the mantels and sus-
pended from the chandeliers, with the ever
present fern used as delicate background.
The refreshment room was in heliotrope
with the lights all shaded In that color, and
of course there were ferns. The rooms up
stairs were all decorated most lavishly with
foliage and flowers, with small flags of the
stars and stripes used to advantage. The
billiard room was devoted to the male MEM
bers Of the party, where wine and cigars
were In evidence to suit their respective
tastes. The refreshments were served by
