Mrs. c. s. Shawhan and Mrs. J. S.
 Robbins joined forces today, giving one
 of the prettiest entertainments of the
 winter and proving that literary wo- men can be. when they will. delightfully
 frivolous and the most charming hos
 tesses In the world. Miss Reba Walden
 was the inspiration of the occasion,
 furnishing a theme that turned many
 head in admiration. The Country
 Club was the scene of action. As its
 capacity is not quite as limitless as a
 Fifth Avenue bus, the hostesses divided the besieging forces into two parts,
 the married women for bridge in the afternoon and the girl and men at a dance in the evening. The motif of the
 party was musical bridge, and rarely has the County Club looked as pretty
 The red walls and draperies and the white woodwork blendid into the color scheme and were hung with garlands of bamboo, which also covered the chimney place. Wires strung from the four corners to the chandelier were concealed by bamboo. and from them hung red bells of every size. represent ing chimes. Drums. harps. mandolins, and banjos were also used in the deco rations, and vases of red roses, hYa- cinths and carnations. The luncheon tables had for centerpiece small drums with bouquets of crimson flowers and ferns tied with bows of red satin rib bon, and there were individual bon-bon boxes, in mandolin and banjo shapes, filled with red candies. The napkins and doilies bore the musical notes and gold harps, and the place cards were hand painted harps. In the luncheon the same theme was continued. the bis cults and cakes cut in shape of harps and bells, the salad served in red bell cases and the ices in small hand painted drums. All during the luncheon and bridge games, Davidson's orchestra ] played.
