most beautifully and artistically de-
corated and festooned, long strings of
many sized, bright red bells being
gathered from the corners of the
rooms to the centers. The incande-
scents were made to represent poin-
settias, by the artful use of different
colors and shades in crepe paper The
same plan prevailed in the parlors
and lounging. rooms, as did in the ball
room.

has there been a larger gathering of
such socially brilliant fair ones as
graced the Pioneer club function Mon
