THE DECORATIONS.

decorated. The premises We're "a

senting a beautiful effect. Upon the
branches of the great tree in the front
yard tiny globes sparkled, giving it d

! everywhere, and on the face of the
cupola was a five-pointed electric star.
Everywhere was plethora of lights.
In the rear of the mansion, or in the
garden proper, a fete pavilion had been
raised beneath a mango tree. 1t was
| covered with a sail-clOth. but the cell
ing was hung entirely with large Ha-
waiian flags, and myriads of lights
made the interior as light as day. Here
the supper was served at small tables.
The lanai, decorated by Mrs. Carl
Widemann and Mr.. Ernest Parker pre-
scented a pretty appearance. Festoons
of MALE criss-crossed the ceiling from
which hung beautiful baskets of white
daisies. Potted caladiums fringed the
railing, peeping up from a swathing of
white tulle Jardinieres of bamboo
posted about the sides of the lanai
made it an effective ballroom.

room. which with the other rooms was
