hung with canyases. on which some of the
best artists OF the land have immortalized
their fancies; exquisite woodwork, polished
inlaid floors, massive mantels and fur
nishing, with great clusters of American
Beauties, white Bride and pink Bridesmaid
roses was In beautiful keeping with the
handsomely dressed crowd Of men and Wo-

affair. when the crowd OF guests had
gathered together they were formed into
