 In the rear of the hall is an alcoye which was an attractive corner yesterday afternoon. A tracery of smilax covered the walls and here and there showed soft crimson and white lights. Presiding over the punch bowl which stood here were Miss May Fox and Miss Emily Morris, the one wearing a yellow satin gown and the other in cream, but both of them charming.
