ECLIP SES ITS
PREDECESSORS
BY Sally Sharp.

by halves? About his functions-all of
them-there is a grasp Of detail that
renders them distinctive from their fell
lows.
Decidedly we have no need for Harry
Lehr while Mr. Greenway holds the reins
OF our social government. His reign
of the season just overland last night
finished the season Except for the
Mardi Gras), was the most brilliant
Of many brilliant winters.
The white and gold ballroom was re-
splendent with ruby lanterns gayly
swung from pillar to pillar. round
which were twined long green garlands,
studded with bloodred roses. Yes, and
there were others-the alternating fes-
toons; these were entwined with gilt
tering bands Of gold, which likewise
hung resplendent from the gigantic
basket of red roses in the center over
to the frieze. Woodwardia and its les
ser sisters completed the exquisite set
ting. These, too, were used in the Con-
servatory room, where the punch bowl
reposed-which spot, by the, way,
proved immensely popular as the ball
grew apace. Palms and punch and
yawning divans-these are assuredly
alluring at any dance.
The music was-as ever at Greenway
functions-superlativ good, issuing
from a latticed bower at the west end.
Rather late were half of the 800
guests-sixty of whom dined in the
Marble room as the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph d. Grant. This dinner was
one of the most elegantly appointed
