AID SOCIETY.
Many Handsomely Gowned Women
Seen mt the German HOuse-Per-
sOnaI and Social Notes.

o'clock the carriages began TO roll up De-
fore the entrance of the German House and
the foyer was soon filed with handsomely
dressed men and women. Groups of palms
arranged here and there added gala air
to the hallway, yet the ballroom was the
center of attraction.
The large ballroom looked most attrac-
tive and the strains of music which came
from an orchestra of twenty pieces sta
toned on the platform at the south end of
the hall made the thought of dancing ex-
ceedingly enticing. From the balcony hung
big silk American flag, giving
tone Of brightness and color to
the surroundings. The stage was
transformed into garden OF
palms, which hid the musicians from sight.
From the balconies on the two sides of the
room hung green vines, topped with clus-
tiers of palms and ferns. The dining room
was equally attractive with Southern smi-
lax and palms and the small tables, where
supper was served, were very inviting. On
each table stood fancy candles with shades
of various colors. Punch was served in
the upper hallway, which was decorated
with a profusion of palms arranged in n
rustic manner with bark and vines. All
for the occasion by Mr.. Bertermann and
Mr.. Wiegand.
