 roses, orchids, and numerous other va | rieties of handsome flowers. These
 were tastefully placed about the diff | ferent rooms by Champion. The great | library with its high ceilings and | handsomely carved walls was turned | into ball room and made an ideal
 one. American Beauty roses and East ern lilies with a background of tall l and graceful palms composed the deco | rations in the ball room. Bergers Hun garian band of New York played dur | ing the reception and for the dancing. The band was stationed at the foot of | the staircase and was completely hid- den by palms.
