green arcs that were suspended from
the ceiling, were pretty feature,
while clusters OF hollyhocks encirc-
ling all of the pillars in the room, pro-

tings of green ferns, and added new
charm to the room. A row OF these
surrounded the orchestra platform,
adding to the scenes effectiveness.

numbers on the dainty monogramed
programs and the dancing continued

when the dances were half finished, n
