] Of American Beauty roses furnished
the appropriate setting for the draw
4 ingroom where the guests were re-
j ceived. The regal flowers We're re-
splendent on mantels and cabinets
i and their beauty was repeated again
4 and again in the French mirrors.
i Palms screened the musicians who
I were stationed on the landing in the
i spacious hall, and along the stairs
| were quaint baskets holding enor-
nous clusters of chrysanthemums,
! shading from a delicate pink to
4 deep red. The woodwork was almost
hidden by the trailing vines and foli-
! age, and flowers wreathed the alabas-
! ter figure which stands in a niche in
the hall. Yellow and white We're, the
chosen colors for the living room and
| chrysanthemums were most effective
| in accentuating the sunshiny tints OF
brocade and tapestry. Flowers We're
! everywhere in the diningroom and a
/ basket of white chrysanthemums in
! the center of the table was encircled
! with white tapers in cut glass holders
/ with rosy tinted shades. Among the
! ferns on the mantel and sideboard,
/ pink chrXsanthemums sounded a note
| Of deeper color.
| The reception was from $3.50 until
| II o'clock and several hundred guests
came to greet the debutante. Miss
| Partridge wore a pretty gown Of white
and held a cluster of pink roses and
! lilies of the valley. For the cotilliOn
| she carried violets.
! About seventy-fve of the younger
set had been hidden to the cotillion
! which was danced at ~ o'clock. Ca
YOUR Langdon led and the favors were
/ pretty trihes, necklaces, charms, hats,
canes, umbrellas and parasols. In
one figure the favors were found in a
big pumpkin. A group of the young
er married women alternated at the
1 favor table. The ball room was
wreathed with smilax and ferns and
the lights were shaded in pink.
