striking ever seen here and with this
jet ornaments and jewels we're worn.
Miss Tenney, a sweet and charming
girl, was attired in a simple yet beau
tiful evening nocK of pink chiffon
made with flounces which were edged
with pink satin The yoke was of de-
| licate lace. After being received and
welcomed the guests wandered
through the different rooms quietly
admiring their exquisite beauty of de-
sign The dining room was barred Of
all save a few rich oriental rugs and
the wall furniture which was all but
concealed by orchids The rarest
and most choice specimens of Mr..
Tenney's dollhouse had been selected
and their marvellous beauty was the
center of attraction. In the middle of
| the large room on pillar of Chinese
ebony rose a huge gold basket with
high arched handle containing thirty
six rare blossoms of the variety
known as Cattleyas, each bloom be-
| ing as large as two cabbage roses and
tinted in delicate lavender. Every
where were more specimens in dainty
vases and oriental jars, with trailers
of asparagus and big baskets of mai
denhair fern, with large vase of gla-
diolas topping off the china closet,
while in the window nook, surround
ing Marpesian marble statuette
dropped orchids of white and pink.
The music room, a little bower Of
wild, riotous illusions, on dit was due
to the artistic temperament and aban-
don of Mrs. Bond, whose vivid ina
gination had created field of wild
flowers in an oriental corner. The
window ledge was banked with yell
low cohiopsis and coarse green ferns
and against this stood the grand
piano, over which lay, as carelessly
as though it had fallen like a shower,
mandarin coat in every shade OF
blue with dashes of turkey red, rose
pink and gold. The music cobinet
stood in another corner, banked high
with clusters of peacock feathers and
coriopsis blooms, while dull green
jar of oriental pottery hung in a cor
ner filled with the same bright colors.
The halls were filled with palms
and pale blue agapanthus lilies mass
ed in Cloisonne vases, while the la
nais were empowered in every va
riety ofpotted ferns and palms.
In one of TIE rotundas the younger
guests danced to the strains Of Kaais
orchestra, the boys of which during
the evening sung two compositions OF
the guest of honor-"In Dear Hawaii"
and 81 Love You Truly"-and Robin
Adair," which is new. These were
greatly appreciated py all present
land proved the popularity of the
charming composer and her talent In
writing these beautiful songs
On another lanai. tables were pro-
vided for the devotees of bridge
where number retreated during the
levening.
Out on the spacious lawn a canopy
had been erected enclosed by a fairy
fence of young bamboo with trailers
of morning glories in every shade in
terwoven. The American and Ha-
waiian flags were draped in the back
ground and myriads of japanese Ian
terms of all sizes were festooned with
in from the centratl pole, In this
perfect al fresco bower an elaborate
supper was served to the guests at
thirty seven individual tables, with
dainty centerpieces of delicate pink
cherry blossoms in oriental vases. 1t

semble was worthy of a scene in
Fairyland.
