Butterfly Teas and Dinners.
In New York, the coming of Puc-
cini's opera Madam Butterfly brought
in its train an added taste for things
Japanese affording the exclusive So
ciety circles an excuse for numerous
charming functions. Mrs. Clarence
Mackay. Mrs. Alfredt Vanderbilt, Mrs.
Gerge Gould and others, gave Japanese
parties that were deliberately described
In the society columns. Mrs. Mackay,
who is musicaI enthusiast herself
and who had three box parties during
the first week at the Garden theatre,
gave a Butterfly" party that attracted
wide attention on account of the e1abor-
ate decorations. It was clled an iris
wistaria dinner for which covers for
ten were laid. The whole affair was
described as a symphony in purple.
From walls and ceiling lights were
hung amid clusters of dropping wistar-
lie. There was no contrasting scheme,
even the lamps were screened in the
mute color. The Cloth, delicate crea-
ton in heliotrope with a wide inser-
ton Of Japanese filigree in gold thread,
was laid over a demi-cloth of pure
white. The tables furnishings were
Florida iris-those deep expressive
purple fowers-more orchid than lily.
Even the ices were mauve colored.
The table favors were miniature water
color copies of the Madam Butterfly
poster designed by Hoenstein, of Milan.
Another unique affair given by Mrs.
Vanderbilt was a proposition in pink.
Here the matron insisted on the con-
trasting themes of cherry blossoms,
pink and yellow. The walls were de-
corated with branches of imported
japanese cherry blossoms and the
lights bathed everything in a rossate
hue. The tables garniture was entire
ly of white and yellow chrysanthem-
ums. The favors at this affair were
Butterflies of silver and gold wire.
The Butterfly" vogue in New York
has spread to other cities, Japanese
parties becoming the rage wherever
this delightful opera is given. No doubt
with the coming of this beautiful work
to Grand Forks, on Wednesday, Feb.
20, our city will experience the above
