A Delightful Occasion.

the season was the entertainment which
was given at Mrs. A. p. H. Walkers
home last Tuesday night. Mrs. Walker
had arranged most elaborate decoration
of the interior Of her. house for the oc-
casion, and the sight was most beautiful
to behold.
The hall and stair way was most beau
tifully decorated with roses. evergreens
and climbing ivy. Three rooms were
thrown open to the guests. Golden rod,
evergi cen and roses were artistically
arranged about the rooms lending ell
chantment to the scene. Small tables
were arranged about the rooms, at which
refreshments were served, upon each
table was handsome vase of beautiful
roses. One of the rooms was espe cially
beautiful, and evidenced exquisite taste
in the arrangement of the decorations.
Besides the roses, evergreens, plants and
vines, to be found in the other rooms
this room contained center table, be-
meath beautiful chandelier, from this
chandelier were suspended. four pure
white ribbons, one of which was ca rried
to each conner Of the table, where it was
held in place by beautiful bouquet of
flowers. In the center of the table was
a pyramid of roses and ferns, the walls
and windows were adorned with trailing
vines and roses, the whole forming
perfect vision of lovliness. Mrs. Walker
and her two lovely daughters, the Misses
Ethel and Maggie certainly understand
the art Of decorating.
1t was an entertainment given to the
young people complimentary to her
daughters, and those who were fortunate
enough to be present enjoyed most de-
lightful evening. The most delicious
