ing through the basement, assembled
through an avenue Of green, the balustrades
being wound with Southern smilax, while
palms extended from the doors to the first
landing. The upper hall presented a most
brilliant scene, being very like a Chinese
garden with its roof and walls of green, it's
Chinese lanterns and it's chrysanthemums.
The ceiling was a lattice of Southern smi-
| lax enveloping and only partially revealing
the framework of bamboo. This threw the
background into shadow so that the effect
was of solid green Frightened with fairy
like lanterns. Aside from the lights which
covered the entire area from the ceiling
were suspended chandeliers of Chinese
lanterns, the central one being a series of
three hve-pointed stars, the smallest at the
bottom and the ones on either side con-
sisting of three rings graduated from the
top. The sides of the room, also of green,
were studded with wall pockets consisting
of ferns, in which various colored chrys-
anthemums rested as in floral vases. The
stage and steps leading to it were bor-
dered with palms, and in the southwest
corner was a pagoda, the smilax of which
1t was made forming a dainty emerald
screen, through which the colors of the
gowns within shone with added beauty.
There were bamboo settees and cushions
of Oriental colors and designs. Refresh
ments were served at tables in the parlors
below. Throughout the evening Harris
orchestra played a programme of Chinese
music. Mrs. Watson wore her wedding
gown Of white silk and Mrs. Fraser was
