and most important of the ante-holl-
day entertainments as it was quite the
prettiest affair that has been given at
Steinberg's in number OF years. me
dancing hall and the adjoining recep-
ton and supper rooms nave rarely
looked more beautiful nor furnished
the setting for more brilliant COM
pany. In the dancing hall charm
ingly festive effect was achieved by the
lavish use of Alabama smilax and red
chrysanthemums. Ropes of the green
and the chrysanthemums entwined
swinging from pillar to pillar and
winding them from the ceiling
to within few feet or the
floor The corners of the hall
were transformed into bowers of the
smilax and tall vases of chrysan-
themums frightened them. The lights
were all shaded with red and on each
side of the central column was
monogram F outlined with tiny red in
candescent lights. The orchestra plat
form was entirely concealed behind
wall of palms. In the reception
room were many palms and big bou-
Duets of red roses and in the supper
room the floor was covered with
Oriental rugs and the many small
square tables placed about were
lighted by red candles under red
shades in Colonial candlesticks. About
two hundred guests enjoyed the Oc-
caSion. They were received by Miss
Fassler with whom were her mother,
Mrs. Armin Fassler, her guest, Miss
Katherine MOrehouse of Danville, Ill,

point esprit with a pink girdle and
carrying a round, old-fashioned Sec
ond Empire bouquet of red, pink and
white carnations Mrs. Fassler wore
a very handsome toilet of black Chan
tilly lace over white taHeta and her
bouquet was like her daughters but of
red carnations. Miss MOrehouSe was
in pink net and her flowers were pink
carnations and Miss Hamilton in white
Paris muslin trimmed with Mechlin
lace and carried an enormous bunch of
Russian violets. Little Misses jose
phine Norton and Mary Alexander
were at the punch bowls throughout
