from 5 to I gave a tea, introducing
Miss Kathryn Galloway, Of u city,
formally into society. No young girl
ever made her debut under more beau
tiful environments. The spacious
home OF the Banks was made most
gorgeous on this occasion with the
holiday cOlors, red and green. Every
where was holly. Ropes Of evergreens
enclrcled the pillars between the
rooms; myriad candles, all red, with
same colored shades, added their soft
light to enhance the beauty Of this
%bewitchlng scene. Mistletoe was sus-
pended from all the chandeliers and
side lights. Most beautiful Of all was
the large dining room, where lovely
girls and charming young matrons
served the hundreds of guests during
the evening. In the center of the
large table was a mirror, outlined
with ferns; on the mirror was a vase Of
lovely lacquemInot roses. The ices
were red, the CONNECTIONS red and
green. The young debutante never
was more lovely than on this occasion.
All in white, with no jewels, just
adorned with the gifts Of youth. Miss
Kathryn is a beautiful girl, most
popular with old and young-a viva
cious brunette, who has a brilliant
future before her.
