Society danced at the twentieth an
nua! charity ball last night amid a
corridors and parlors of the West hotel
had been transformed into arcades Of
green, and the board Of directors for
the Home for Children and Aged Wo-
men had spared no efforts to put the
stamp Of perfection on the appoint
ments. The corridors were lined with
pine trees, overhead were hangings Of
smilax and the glossy foliage clustered
along the walls, and mingled with the
woodwork or doors, windows and broad
stairways. In among the green shone
the lights, shaded in deep. orange vel
low radiance of sunny color from the
hearts of yellow flowers.
Four Of the directors, Mrs. H. G. Har-
rison and Mrs. G. w. Case of the
senior board, and Mrs. George W. Pea.
the Junior board, received the guests at
the head of the broad stairway which
leads from the vestibule to the parlor
floor. Behind them were rows of pine
trees, with lights of wordrous bright
ness and with tall Japanese baskets,
suggesting the color scheme of yellow,
with great flaring yellow bows: Mrs.
Harrison wore heavy broeaded satin
was Of gray six With an elaborate
trimming of cluny lace, Mrs. Peavey
wore apricot-colored net embroidered in
gold over apricot-colored silk, and Mrs.
J. 0. P. Wheelwright was charming in
white point d esprit over white silk.
Statuary hall was bower of green,
white and yellow. Lofty pine trees and
southern smilax formed q background
for the marble figures. Oriental rugs
chairs and divans made coy hooks
where the dancers chatted between
dances. -"

AS the first notes for the opening
waltz We're sounded the large ballroom
presented charming sight. The plat
form at the upper end was q mass Of
green, pine trees making solid wall to
screen the orchestra and southern smi-
Lax clambered toward the ceiling, twin
ing gracefully around the windows and
over the doors, while the great lights
were under huge Japanese shades. :
Most beautiful of all the rooms was
the ordinary which was used as the
supper room. The decorations of vel
low and green were carried out with TO-
iage,, lights and beautiful brass urns.
eandelabra, candlesticks and fern dishes
The two freplaces were banked with
pane and snilax, and among the green
cry burned the lights under the pref
t1est OF yellow shades. The effect Of
shading the large calcium lights under
grotesque Japanese lanterns was also
good. The centerpiece was mound of
plnk-tipped Japanese lilies, in which
were Embedded miniature lights to illu-
mine the mound into mass of dazzling
color. At either end was brass sam,
ovar over which the directors presided
served from smaller tables. =. y, -
