entertainments of the season, and brought
forth a bright assemblage of the younger
set. The hall was decorated with palms
and foliage plants, and the guests were
received near the entrance, beneath an
arch of palms and tropical plants. Mrs
Hammond, wearing a French gown of
black chiffon and some beautiful dia-
monds. was assisted in receiving by Miss
Van Wagenen, Miss Bartlett Miss Bryant
ana Miss Hammond. Miss Bartletts love-

pink aigrette in her dark hair. Miss
Bryant wore point d'esprit, with white
satin ribbons encircling the skirt, and
the bodice of crystal embroidery. Miss
Van Wagenen's gown was of white satin,
with pink roses, and Miss Hammond wore
charming pale yellow net, the frills pip
ed with black satin, and sprays of red
peoples over the shoulders. Mrs. w. G.
Morrell and Mrs. II. r. Conner distributed
the favors, and the cotillion was led by
Mr.. w. W. Williamson. At II o'clock sup

where the effective decorations were en-
tirely of green and white. The long ia
bes were adorned with plateaus of mai

of delicate freesias. Smaller tables about
the rooms were decorated with maiden
hair ferns In green and white jardinieres
and green candles in silver and cut glass
candelabra were softened by dainty white
silk shades. The favor figures were dane

a festive scene, with the pretty faVors
added to the many lovely gowns. Napo-

empire fans and scarf pins were given to
the girls while for the men were shay
ing balls, silver pencils, cravat pins and
reins of satin ribbon hung with little

ribbons, their partners being discovered
