large and brilliant proportions occurred
In this city last evening. The homely
adage, 1T never rains but IL pours,''
might we'll be applied to these particular
functions. so quickly have theey followed
each other OF late.
Mrs. Spinks assembly rooms were
thronged last evening from the hours of
s to IL. with the guests invited TO the la
test OF these debudante affairs, the same
being that OF Miss Ethel Studiey, daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. Edward studley
OF this city.
About 500 invitations had been issued
for this event. and like those which have
preceded IL, the affair was a thoroughly
representative and brilliant one.
The reception occurred I'm the beautiful
ball room at Mrs. spinks. which was
tastefully decorated by O'Connor The
decorations were not elaborate. for the
reason that the ball room in itself is so
artistic and beautiful as to need very little
decoration.
The receiving corner OF the room was
w a iioSt
ment of palms. which, formed the back
ground for the receiving party.
A SCENE OF BEAUTY.
At the right OF this bower OF green stood
large screen, the background OF which
was formed by arbor vital. Fastened
upon the screen I'm such way as 10 COM
pletely cover IL, were the numerous floral
offerings presented to Miss Studey.
These consisted OF great boquets OF
roses. violets. chrysanthemums. etc. In
the midst OF all this floral beauty Miss
Studley received with her father and
mother.
She was indeed picture fair to look
upon, i'm a beautiipl gown OF white Rem
naissance lace richly wrought and made
up over white satin.
Mrs. Studiey wore an exceedingly rich
pattern gown OF white lace over white
satin. The effect OF the lace over the
satin was extremely striking outlined as it
was. with Intricate figures formed by tur-
nnoise- and black ornaments apptiuucd up
on the lace.
Between the hours of Q and II Miss
Studley was beseiged with compliments
and congratulations. which extended
alike TO her father and mother. During
the evening an elaborate supper was fur
nished by Lyman.
JOINED IN THE DANCE.
Following the reception many OF the
young people remained 10 the dance
which was enjoyed until a late hour.
The excellent music for dancing was
furnished by Mrs. SPHINX and conducted
by Mr.. William Il. l.insey.
Included among the guests az the recep-
tlon was the large house party who came
on from New York 10 be the guests OF
