PARIS Feb. I.-Not only is the

Red Roses in Red Room.

To bear out the name Of the Red Par
Ior, where diplomats wait on state occa-
sions to be presented TO the President
and Mrs Roosevelt, and which is used
bv the family as a private sitting room
much of the tine, red roses and red car
nations were arranged in the vases and
lardiniereS, and palms relieved the
brilliant red tone of the room.
The state dining room, with its mag
nifIceut proportions and high, oak wains
coated walls, is far too imposing for an
elaborate floral decoration, and wisely
enough much decoration was omitted.
ADproDriate to the occasion, Bride roses
allied the vases on the high English man
teishelf and the same dainty flowers,
relieved ny masses of ferns and aSpara~
gus We're used with more elaborate et-
feet upon the long state dining table,
from which the wedding breakfast was
served to all eXcept the wedding party
In the private dining room, where the
bridal party were seTved-the bride cut
ting not one but all of the half dozen
shown, and Bride roses mingled with
rations The flowers used on the long
table from which sixty guests were
served WAS decorated altogether in
white roses. While the American Beau
ties, intersPcrsed with Bride roses, fill
ed the vases.
Nowhere was there an effort to conceal
the imposing dignity of the house itself,
the real 3iryHess given by flowers and
delicate green foliage being reserved
wholly for the improvised altar in the
East Room.

Blue Room Conventional.

The Blue Room-ceLulean blue in tone
is severe and stately to a marked de-
gree, the plain walls being finished only
by a Grecian border in gold, and blue
nangings after the same design. 1t was
into this that the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt passed after greeting their
daughter AID sOn-in-laW at the altar.
Here, too, tail. gracefully shaped vases
stand upon either end Of the two low
mantles and filled with Easter lilies, set
about with ferns and asparagus, gave
q splendid conventional effect. TAN

Of the mantels, and these were filed
