Nothing more beautiful has been l
cen this winter than the decoration
f the ballroom, which was in red,
nd white. The polished oak cell e
ng was as green as Southern forest,
nth wild laurel branches, through which J
ippled wide red and white ribbons, tied
4 love-knot rosettes. Twinkling through
be foliage were myriads of tiny white and !
ed electric lights. which also garlanded
be wall like chains of living jewels. The {
lirrors that panel the great room were '
alf veiled with pyramids of red and white
zaleas. caught artistically with huge
Dws of ruby red ribbon, and rustic ledge a
nat adorned the walls was filled with
aster lilies rising from banks of maiden
air fern. The only touch of contrasting !
olor was furnished by the ribbon that
arlanded the musicians gallery, and
rhich was of delicate lavender shade.
