to the parors from which daylight had
been excluded, the light being furnished
by green and pink candles. The decora-
tions were in green and pink, the club
colora aud consisted Of plants with pink
blossoms, Carnations were In profusion
and green and pink crepe paper fes-
tooned in different ways. The pictures
we're confined to music and musical COM

pleasing manner, with Mrs. McCarty at
the piano. The president then announced
that the next hour would be a social one
with refreshments. The menu consisted
Of pink and green Ice cream and cake

green china. Amoug the noticeable
ones absent from the reception was Mrs.

will be the really interesting thing.
Occident and Orient will be represent

sions there will be Turks, Egyptians,
Arabs, Persians, Hindoos, Filipinos,
Africans, Spaniards, Siamese, Core
ans, Japanese, Chinese, and representa-
tives of other races too numerous to
mention-all in their picturesque ma

Queer musical instruments will fur
nish marching melodies. Some of the
Orientals will dance along in their
peculiar styles. The bowling Dervish
will howl, the whirling Dervish will
whirl, and altogether it will be a howl
ing and whirling affair.
There will be in line Jews, Gentiles
and MOslems from Jerusalem-hun-
dreds and hundreds Of them. Dancing
girls from the variety theaters Of
gay Seville-yes, and from the hilari-
GUS halls Of gayer Paris-will be there.
Beauties stunning beauties - from
many European and Oriental nations
will lend the charm of their faces and
figures and their picturesque costumes
to the aggregation. Arab horses, Bar
barry steeds, sacred COWS, tailless cats
and hairless dogs will figure in tho
parade.
And all along the way the thousands
Of spectators will enter into the spirit
OF international gayety, humming and
singing such familiar ballads as "She
Never Saw the Streets Of Cairo"
"Therell Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight" and the like. For
the opening Of The Pike-the worlds
greatest amusement boulevard-will
inaugurate a season of conglomerated
gayeties such as the sons and daugh-
