Miss Quinlsn's german Friday evening
vas a brilliant success from start to fin
! ish. The young hostess carried things
| through in very thorough and perfect
way and in the doing was admirably as
sisted by Mrs. jeff n Miller and Mrs
T. J. Boyles. In her recent trip to old
Mexico Miss Qulnlan found herself in
warm sympathy with the bright coloring
and artistic fancies OF the people and in
her german she adopted the Mexican idea,
carrying II out very effectively. Bryan
hall was decked out in the Mexican col
ors, with the red and white shown IN
long draperies of the two colors carried
from the central chandelier to the walls,
making brilliant canopy overhead while
|
sprays OF Southern smlax over window
facing, forming an archway over the
stage and railing in the staircase with its
rich foliage. ON the stage a pyramid
mass of green was made of palms and
Terms, experimenting the coloring OF the
vines. In the corner to the right of the
entrances which was carpeted with
| soft rugs, divan covered in brilliant
red was cushioned with pillows Of rich
coloring, over which graceful palms
waved their broad leaves, giving the pie
ture the tropical effect, so typical of did
Mexico. In the opposite corner the land
of the sombrero was forgotten, and up-to-
date American punch was served from
an up-to-date bowl of heavy cut glass.
Beneath the stairway two small tables
| with covers decorated with Mexican
| drawn work held the favors which were all
brought from the land where flowers
blow by Miss Quinlan, consisting OF
the Mexican people. Tiny sombreros and
baskets made of hair in bright colorng
and ornamented with bead work. were
among the favors for the first eotillion,
and following these were amusing feath
cred toys and quaint bits OF pottery.
These were all given out by Mrs. JEFF
Miller and Mrs Howard Smith, with an
admirable abide camp In Mr. Miller. who
had jolly word and a pleasant laugh for
all.
The cotillion figures were led by Miss
Quinlan with Mr.. Bruce Fraser In the
first; Mr.. Harris Garrow the second, Mr..
George Kidd. jr.. the third and Mr.. Alb
, bolt Cockrell in the fourth The figures
were new and gracefully led, one ad-
mirable feature of them being that ALL
the dancers were kept on the floor after
the first lead out. Mr.. Garrow won a
rich crown OF laurels by forming the let
ters "A. O." initials OF the young hostess
and the figures 1900 by his following
1t was very effective and enthusiastically
2 applauded. The music was simply SPLEEN

J The supper tables we're beautiful, with
their silver and crystal candelabra, filled
! with pink wax candles tall vases OF pins
! and white pots; delicate fern vines trail
Z ing in and out over the snowy oloth-a al
these things giving the refining and
! home like effect to be given only by the
touch OF lady's hand. The ladies of the
Sheltering Arms association were in com
mand here and their tasteful handiworl
. was evident in the beauty of the table
o and their knowledge OF good things IL

y course, ice cream and cake.
