charming. The entrance hall to the

exquisite color scheme Of green and
scarlet. The parlors were lastly done
in green with no touch of color, while
the dining room was artistic In smilax
and roses.

dent Of the Albuquerque IN. NJ

brown broadcloth, over taffeta. Her
jacket was rich In fur, Persian bands
and real lace, with touches Of old
blue and burnt orange. Under the
jacket was worn a white shirt waist
OF daintiest silk and rare lace.
