NJ. Hall, on Duncan avenue, was the
scene of most brilliant reception Thurs
day evening, given in honor of their at
tractive guest, Mrs. John Young Brown,

which win for her admirers by legion.

mantels in the drawing room, parlors,
dining room, halls and library were
banked i'll graceful ferns and further
adorned with vases of pink carnations.
Ferns, pink carnations and the feathery
green of the asparagus vine was seen in
profusion everywhere. In the conserva-
tory, which is attractively seen from all
parts of the house, the faint echo of the
water as it trickled through hanging
baskets of the vines and ferns lent en-
chantment to the scene.
The beautiful round refreshment table
in the dining room, with its white muslin
and lace cover over green satin, was addi-
tionally ornamented with a tall vase of
pink carnations as centerpiece, and this
was surrounded with cut glass platters tf
pink and green bon bons. The chande-
lier was wound with smilax and extend
ing to the table were streamers of green
and white ribbon, tied in pretty bows.
