The Agawam club, whore Mr. and Mrs.
| William Goddard gave a dance last night,
presented most picturesque scene
The spacious piazza had been arranged
most artistically with numerous colored
lanterns over the electric lights The floor
covered with rugs, green wicker sofas
with soft pillows most invitingly ar
ranged, chairs of all kinds and to shield
the different tete-a-tetes high japanese
screens served as a background with here
and there tall palms through which shone
colored lights
ON the grounds near the piazza was a
tent where those who wished for quieter
moment could sit with dim light thrown
from lamps and candelebras. Inside the
clubhouse was transformed into a bower
OF oak branches with white peonies. The
mantle-pieces also were banked with
green and the musicians were hidden from
view by large palms. The entire house
was taken for this charming affair and
the arrangements SO extremely Well car
ried out, that the hours slipped by so fast
that the bidding good night came all too
soon.
