/ presented a prettier sight than it did
I yesterday. <rimmed and decorated in
a wealth OF flowers for the luncheon
given by Mrs. s. II. Babcock. Nor has
Salt Lake often shown a more bril-
liant gathering than that seated at

Grated and was most artistic in its
arrangement. The table was spread
in the form OF a Maltese cross with
4 a hollow square in the center filled
with palms and high mass of Amer
lean Beauties. The arms Of the cross
extended TO the four corners of the
room, and on each arm was a long
bed of smilax studded heavily with
pure white lilies of the valley and RO-
man hyaciAtns. Incandescent lights
with red shades we're embedded in the
flowers. and tall candelabra shaded
. with red lighted each corner. From
4 the chandelier above, ropes of feath
cry pIumosa extended to the corners
Of the center bed, and the same ferns
were entwined around the center
/ lights. The mirror on the north of
/ the room was encircIed with holly, and
at the base a bed of Roman hyacinths
| and azeleas was formed. Tall palms
stood around the room and at one side
/ screened an orchestra which furnished
delightful music throughout the lunch
