bunting OF the prevailing hue, and
against ceiling, walls, and pillars there
will be elaborate and tasteful contrasts
of foliage and flowers, with masses OF
tropical plants in pots massed about
the fountain and the feet of the pom
derous columns. The lesser columns,

to be bronZed. Two music booths, one
for Santelmann and his band, and the
other for Haley and his orchestra, are
to be treated in harmony with the
general scheme of decoration, flags in

trasts of color. Tickets for the ball
