 Last night, Miss Kate Brooks steiner gave a brilliant cotiiiion at the Ex- change Hotel in compliment to her house guest, Miss Ethel Thomas or Winchester. Ky.
 | The reception apartments and the stately ball room of this popular place of fashionable entertaining were never more attractive or so elaborafely deco rated as they were on this notable oc- casion. In the double green parlors were numbers of growing azaiias of the most delicate pink hues. in large hand painted jardeniers. The mantle Of the large open nre place in the palm garden was banked with this same beautiful blooming plant. imbedded in beds of ferns. The double dining rooms were like ideal stage scenes in one of Sardue's plays of the French aristocracy. In each of these apart ments was placed a table, from which \ punch was served. In the red room Nthe cloth was of cluny lace over red satin. In the center of the table was a tall cut-glass vase filled with Amer ican beauty roses. Red tapers burned in silver candelabras. In cut glass comports were bon-bons of red and green hints From corner to corner of the table rich red satin ribbons formed Maltese cross, with large bows at the culminating points sAt this table Mrs. Mae Crommeline. wear ing a pale blue silk popiin. with cream silk. net yoke and sleeves. and Mrs. J. N. Baker, in her handsome wedding gown of cream satin. trimmed in real lace and hands of heavily em- broidered cream silk roses, presided.
 The pink room. adjoining, was deco rated with pink carnations A large basket of these sweet-scented blooms stood In the center of the table. show cred with delicate fern fronds, the handle tied with a handsome bow of table was cloth of Renaissance lace over pink satin. Pink satin ribbons, pink candles in silver candelabras and pink bon-bons furnished the same tones as the carnations. At this table Mrs. John J. Flowers, IT., wearing a pale pink satin trimmed in pearl passamen- terie. and Mrs. Henry Bartlett. in pearl grey silk with real lace presided.
 The marble columns of the ball room were So decorated about the capitals as to give the effect of a canopy of vince, overhead The orchestra was fl. base of which were pots of white aza- lias.
 The receiving party consisted of MT. and Mrs. R. E. Steiner, Miss Kate Brooks Steiner and Mss Ethel Thomas, while Miss Helen, the college girl daughter of the family, was not for mally in the list to receive. she assist ed materially in the general atmos- phere Of true cordiality and hospital ity afforded by the party.
 Mrs. Steiner's gown was silver en- brotdered lace, the corsage richly trimmed with rose point lace, and both the waist and the draperies of the silver fringe. Her flowers were pink sweetpeas tied with pink tulle. @ par ticuiar grace being given by the dell cate vines woven with 1t and trailing from it,

 The grand march was led by Mir Shep Roberts and Mss Thomas, as- sisted by Captain Everett Jackson and Miss Steiner.

Another very effective figure of the march was the double arbor.
