room was perfect bower the ceiling and
| walls being covered in vines, flowers or
RIBBONS, in the midst of which thousands

| Mes. The ceiling was sprayed with south
erii smilax, and the large electric lights
| softened by great rosette effects of scarlet
| and white ribbons. The band gallery fes-
TONED with green. had bows and loops of
orchid ribbons. Below on the spreading
| branches of a tall cork tree hundreds of
| orchids lived out under fashionable ap-
| proval. their brief span of beauty and
glory. The rest of the west side was
| banked with rows of prim palm leaves as
| background for the rustic baskets filled
with roses and each tied with saucy bow
| of gauze ribbon. which later on We're favors
| in the cotillion, and today are souvenirs of
| the last big ball of the winter. The mir
| rors round the room had in front of each
! a rustic jardiniere, in which pink roses and
| annuncation lilies reared their heads from
a tangle of green vines. Suspended by
| broad streamers of red ribbon in the CEN
| ter OF each mirror was cluster of electric
| lights making a gorgeous jewel. Gilded
l laurel garlands framed the top of each mir
| ror, while around the entire room bands of
the electric lights were woven in and out
| Of the green.
| In the reception parlors the same floral
| magnificence obtained. In the first, pink
| flowers and ribbons were abundant, and
| in the middle room, American beauty roses
! and ribbons. while in the third orchids
| and white lilacs held sway. Mrs George
