yelled the ceiling and walls Sheaves of
palm foliage were covered over each cur

the windows were huge green wreatbs
twined with red satin ribbon. The great
chandeliers We're hooded With red. and the
clustered lights in the wall brackets were

whole room a glow of ruby color. The
favors, which were as dainty and odd as
those Of last year. included corsage bou-

"Once we enter into correspondence

say eventually the companies will give
