danced in the. ballroom and rested In a
lovely moonit garden. Mrs. Oliver Crom-
well, though not present herself to enjoy
the scene, on account of her mourning,
and had Mrs. George Howard to do the
honors for her, planned the most original
and beautiful event of the season thus

-oorns into zone of romance, the posi-
,ilities Of which may affect the rest of
The winter.
Mrs Howard and Miss Cromwell re-
ceived at the head of the broad staircase
dividing the two bathrooms. The steps
were bordered with pink and white
azalea bushes, and the trail Of green
reached from that clear to the street
doors. The walls were hung with south
ern smilax, and palms outlined the path
to the rose bower. where the lovely young
bud welcomed her guests. Spanish moss
hanging from the tree boughs overhead
gave an Elusive touch which suggested
the beauties Of the garden just at her

At the entrance there were massive
white pillars, over which crimson ram

swung open. Overhead there was an ar

fruit trees in bloom, cozy hooks with rus

tails to work out a garden scene. A

in the tower window furnished the only

tinued throughout the parlor adjoining
and the halls. The ballroom had a pro-
fuse decoration Of green. with flower bas-
kets hanging from the ceiling starred with
red and white flowers.
