~ week and one of the most de-
- lightful Of the winter was the
valentine head-dress party given last
night by Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Drake
at their handsome Hoover street resi-
| dence, when about 125 members of the
younger set were entertained as a
courtesy to that charming debutante,
Miss Marion MacNeil.
| The feature of the affair was the
| valentine head-dress, each of the
guests having the head and face
| dressed to represent a valentine. All
the rooms on the lower floor were
thrown together for dancing and val
entines, red hearts and gold bows and
arrows in profusion WED here with
| jonquils, acacias and other spring
| blossoms in gay decorative scheme. A
valentine screen made a cozy corner
| in the reception hall that was occupied
| by the musicians, while in the supper
room on the third floor posters and
comic valentines had place. Only
candle light was used in the supper
| room, a round table occupying. the
center. where covers were laid for six
teen, Of whom Miss MacNeil was one,
| while ten smaller tables were arranged
about the room for smaller groups.
| Nine. Genevra Bishop pre-
sided last night over one of the most
date, having as dinner guests at the
! Hershey Arms a party Of friends whom
| she entertained later in boxes at the
| Orpheum.
! The service was in gold and white
| and valentines, cupidS and hearts
served to carry out the valentine idea
in the decorations. Above the round
| table a heart Of asparagus fern opened
| to reveal dozens of tiny electric stars
| hidden in the foliage and to form
| background for a shower of little pink
| cupids that remained suspended above
the table.
| A beautiful piece of cluny lace over
| yellow satin partly covered the dam
| ask cloth and in the center nodding
yellow daffodils and maidenhair ferns
formed a charming bit of contrasting
color. Yellow shades softened the light
from candles that had place in crystal
| candlesticks, around which circled a
low fence of Dresden glass, the dozen
| or more glass posts forming tiny vases
which held boutonnieres of fern and
| acacia sprays.
Favors were daffodil bonbon boxes
with a midget Cupid perched on the
| extreme edge Of a leaf; the dOilies were
| in yellow and white and the place
cards were hand-painted cards Of sum-
mer girls and attendant youths, each
pictured girl wearing a dress of the
