UNIQUE GIFTS OF TIN

The one topic Of conversation within
the pale Of the exclusive set today is the
reception given by Mr.. and Mrs. J. Il.
Hulshizer in honor of their tenth we'd
ding anniversary Saturday night at their
home, No. 16 Clifford avenue Not since
Mrs. e. r. G. Young's tea last winter,
has there been anything to equal it. 1t
was unique, too, in that tin presents
were actually given instead Of the usual
substitute of sterling silver seen at a
tenth anniversary. But in the presenta-
ton of these two things, it became a
floral festival, for everything was filed
with the most exquisite Of blossoms. For
instance, bread box was transformed
into showey bouquet Of la France roses,
violets and carnations, with long stream
ers of Nile green satin ribbon flowing
from all four corners, while scrub pail
with basin, brush and soap, supported a
large bouquet of American beauty roses,
and still another beautiful palm. In
fact there was everything imaginable in
tin from a high hat and cane filed with
American beauties for Mr.. Hulshizer to
pair of slippers filed with violets for
Mrs. Hulshizer. OF course, there We're
also some very handsome presents in cut
glass, sterling silver and other precious
metals, but it was the tin things made
the affair unique.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hulshizer had trans
formed their home into fairyland of
tropical beauty for the occasion. Palms
and Southern smilax literally lined and
draped the walls to such an extent that
save for the studding of electric lights
and the gleam of a mirror where beau
tiful woman fell in love with glimpse of
her own face interlaced in smilax and
roses, the house might have been some
delyan bower for all the modern architec-
ture to be seem The hall was draped in
Southern sInilax footed with palms, WITH
punches of white chrysantehmums here
and there. The mantel was entirely hid
den in smilax and roses and only the out
line of a stairway could be seen through
smilax and chrysantehmums.
The drawing room was in pink, and
it was here that Mr.. and Mrs. Hulshizer
received in front of bower of palms,
shot with orchids and reaching to the
ceiling The mantel here was banked in
la France roses, the mirror draped in
smilax caught back with roses, and the
doors portiered with whip lash curtains
of smilax and roses.
OFF from this room, on the piazza, a
separate room for the musicians had been
built, and here Van Baar's Orchestra of
seven pieces rendered soft music, while
upstairs in the hall another orchestra Of
three pieces played the same tunes.
The library was in yellow with orchids
and roses mixed with smilax. The din
ing room was in pink, with a large
centrepiece of la France roses sur
rounded by pretty confeetien pieces in
various shapes, shot with tin and pink
candelabra as table decorations. Supper
was served by Maresi and floral decora-
tions were by Thorley. Upstairs the
rooms were also decorated with flowers,
the whole house being thrown open for
the occasion.
Probably never was handsomer col
lection of gowns seen in Jersey City.
Mrs. Hulshizer wore an exquisite inn
ported creation of white tucked nous
seline de sole shot with pearls and edged
with graduation hounce of white panne
velvet heavily embroidered in grape
design of pearls. The bodice matched
the founce, a soft finish of chiffon and
cords of chiffon roses draping the neck
and shoulders She carried a shower
bouquet of violets.
OF her assistants, Mrs. George 7.
Smith wore a handsome lace robe of
the grape design over white silk; Mrs.
Matthew Jenkins wore black velvet and
rich duchesse lace; Mrs. Arthur L. Soper
wore an imported blue cloth with lace
applique; Mrs. George f. Perkins. Jr.,
wore white crepe de chine; Mrs Edward
Van Wrinkle wore pink crepe de chine,
and Mrs. j. ID. Bedle, Jr., wore white
lace robe over white silk. Each assist
ant carried a pretty silver card case, the
gift of the hostess.
Little Miss Natalie Hulshizer stood up
with her mother till bedtime She wore
dainty little gown of white lace with
pink ribbons, and, with her little
brothers, James g., Jr., in suit of
white broadcloth, and 'littlest' brother,
baby Eugene, in the conventional baby
dress Of white, added to the fairylike ap-
pearance of the house.
There We're at least four hundred
guests present at one time, but owing to
all three floors being available, there was
none of that jam and crush SO disastrous
to the fluffy freshness of gowns of the
day.
