Coughs of pine, juni- per and misrletoe intertwined with the red, white and blue were used lavishly in the pavilion and the effect was very pleasing.
 Probably the greatest m -tamorpho- sis was wrought in the old building which is used as hotel and. where the refreshments Were served. The walls of the hallway were entirely lined with Navajo blankets. and the ceiling was a mass of mistletoe and wild cherry vines. The stairway was strewn from top t5 bottom with sofa pillows, thus forming most charming retreat On either side of the reception hall were NCol ltSttIilS IllO the OlnlnS rooms.
