The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-03
SOCIETY ROSE-SCENTED.

Scores and scores OF eXQuisitely gowned
the sweetest and rarest music; stately palms,
delicate, feathery ferns, and roses, roses
everywhere-a perfect dream Of roses! Such
night. when society celebrated the advent of
the new year. OF course, the men were
there, too. looking as irreproachable as only
the American can look in his evening
clothes; but so far as the decorative features
of the ball were concerned. the men, of
course, didn't count.
The floor was in perfect condition for dane
ing-it was new one, laid especially for the
occasion-and the music, by DanZs full or
chestra, had been especially selected for the
affair, which fact insured its perfection.
Palms, holly and lycopodium vines decorat-
ed the corridors, stairway and reception room
In the ball room were also immense palms
and feathery vines, twined here and there
with knots Of roses. Where the musicians
sat was completely screened from view by
the palms.
Perhaps nowhere was an artistic result
SO completely attained as in the supper room.
Scores of small tables were placed here and
there about the room separated almost hid
den from one another. by the foliage of the
floral decorations. On the principal table a
huge basket filed with American Beauty
roses and majdenhair ferns rested on large
mirror Around this were a boar's head a
maidenhair fern and roses. Supper was sery-
