Two thousand electric lights lookeu
down last night at Kramers on a
scene so beautiful and magnificent
that II would be hard to surpass 1t.
The occasion was the Bachelor clubs
cotillion dance.
In the center of the ball room was
an immense ball of green foliage, ana
as a signal for the dancing this mas
sive sphere was drawn up and from
It fell showers of pink and white roses
and carnations which hung there sway
ing, throwing their sweet fragrance
through the ball room, and with thelr
velvety petals touching each other In
countless thousands.
Festooned in canopy effect over this
were ropes of asparagus plumosus ana
crossed and recrossed from the cnan-
deller to the corners and SIDES OF the
room were the festoons of the ferns,
their feathery tendrils conceallng nun
dreds of electric lights.
In the windows branches of bright
red autumn leaves gave brilliant
touch of color to the decorative scheme:
In the background were massed potted
palms and trees. The refreshment
room was entirely covered with pink
tulle, touched up here and there with
sprays Of maidenhair ferns:
In the banquet hall downstairs,
where 400 covers were laid, the dec
oratiye scheme was of ferns and vio-
let's. Festoons of the lights and ferns
were suspended from the ceiling and
potted plants made an effective back
ground. Large corsage bouquets OF
violets marked places for the women
and the centerpieces of the tables were
of violets, while ferns were scattered
over the tables in a charming con-
fusion. Arend played for the dancing.
In the early part of the evening the
skylght was opened and floating from
it in slow lazy movements came sew
enty-five balloons, each with the name
of n member of the Bachelors club
printed upon it in large white letters
The women captured these and danced
with the man whose name their bal
loon bore.
