roses and lilacs, and through the open
squares one could discern the flowers be-
meath. In the center of this garden spot
was Il large umbrella tree covered with
pink roses and lighted with electric lights.
At each side OF the center tree was a
smaller one covered with red roses AL
most the entire light for the dinner was
furnished by these flower-shaded globes.
Many OF the guests went from there to
the dance at the George Goulds, their first
entertainment in Their new house. The
dance was an early one and was preceded
by number of dinners. The principal
one was given by Mr.. and Mrs. Stuy
vesant Fish, at which the Goulds were
guests. The invitations were sent out
for 10 o clock and the cotillon led by that
Incompatible leader, Phoenix Ingraham
Dancing with Marjorie began at II. En-
tering the main hallway. the broad stair
way leading to the floor above was seen
To the left of this lattice of smlaX and
nauVe orchids was arranged to screen
Franckos orchestra.
Mr. and Mrs. Gould and Marjorie re
ceived their guests in the hallway be-
tween the salon and drawing room, on
the second floor. Mrs. Gould was in
white brocade embroidered in gold and
wore her superb diamonds. Marjorie
was rarely beautiful in rose liberty satin
and rich cream lace. You can fancy
how RADIANT she was in such a gown
amid the environment of white and
gold bailroom with rose-brocaded hang
bles. A life-size one in the center was
shaded by a tree of orchids. Two sim
liar trees We're placed near the head OF
the stairway, and back of these. in
square projecting over the lower hall,
was another orchestra, screened with
smilaXf ard orchids. The decorations
throughout We're orchids and American
beauties. The first round of favors were
fancy belts and bags for the girls and
leather things for the men, The second
was patriotic, consisting of red, white
and blue parasols, gilt mirrors tied with
red, white and blue ribbons and ties for
the men. The flower favors were next.
consisting of punches OF orchids and
gardenias. The fourth were automobile
wells OF different colors for the girls.
Have you caught a mental picture of
the charm Of ii they tossed these d.
aphanous colors about their pretty heads?
And the men in this figure had silk hats
tied with ribbons to match the wells. 1t
certainly was unique and fascinating.
The last faVors were in goid-lockets,
chains, pencils, knives-all in white kid
boxes stamped with the date and the
Gould monogram. After the cotillon sup
per was served during which singers
wearing dominos passed in and about
the tables singing as they went. This
was also a feature at a second supper
served in the later hours. Il was, as is
always the case when the GouldS enter
tain, perfect in every detail
! The surprise of the evening" might
say of the season-was the announcement
by Mr. Gould of his daughters engage
ment TO Mr.. Drexel of Philadelphia. OF
course, there have been rumors, but ru-
NOR has had Marjorie engaged to dozen
titled foreigners and as many Americans
since her debut year ago. so one has
become accustomed TO the cry OF ''Wolf.'
We are giving thanks however. that she
has finally decided in favor of the Stars
and Stripes 1t viii be Il marriage of
great prominence, not only in New York
and Philadelphia, bEt abroad. as both
the Goulds and DleXels are Il part OF
London.
| have not told YOU half that is going
on, but one must stop somewhere, SO,
until another time, ever.
