With softly shaded lights the dark
green freshness of palms and ferns and
the light of the moon, Mr.. and Mrs.

lightful setting for the musicale they
gave last night in the beautiful
grounds OF their home.
A canvas covered amphitheater had
been erected over the lawn for the
guests and the porch was used for a
stage.
All through the amphitheater were
pretty cases of palms and ferns and the
porch was veritable bower with its
masses of light and dark foliage.
Japanese lanterns were festooned,
crossed and recrossed, through the
porch and foliage and here and there a
touch of red or white was given by some
stray rose.
Ropes of smilax were drawn across
the sides and. wound about the posts.

several well known artists. The Man
dolin club of the Franel sisters played
several times and a fine flute solo was

Davis of Hollywood, a soprano, gave
several selections.
