Hardly had society rested awhile from
the coming out tea" OF Miss Helen Fos-
ter than the coming ont dance" of Miss
Mary Bradley, daughter OF Mrs Charles
Bradley. was ON at Mrs Spinks. This,
however. was much smaller function
than the Foster tea" yet not less enjoy
able.
The decorations at Mrs. Spink's were
massed I'm the lower corper OF the beau
tiful ball room. which wac converted. by
the skilful hands OF Miss Caroline Far
rington. into n sort OF a bank or green
wall OF striking originality and beauty.
over this simulated wall was mass OF
clingtng southern smilaX into which was
woven the flowers OF the debutante re-
minding one OF blossoming rose bushes.
I'm June. clambering unmolested. over a
wall OF green. Roses and carnations there
were I'm various colors and IN great pro-
fusion and these wer so arranged by
Miss Harrington. that the flowers OF the
more delicate shades were a each end OF
the simulated wall and gardually grew
brighter as the centre was approac ched,
where the dark pinks and reds were
massed together
As may he imagined, all this created an
IDEAL background for the receiving
party while. near by. were vases on
small tables containing jars OF violets,
lilies OF the valley and other flowers.
Music was furnished for dancing by
Reeves orchestra and continued until
long after midnight. but-by special re-
quest-the full details OF this dance Will
not be published.
