most artistically and beautifully dec

enchantment.

becomingly gowned in a red crepe de
chene over red silk. Mrs. Fulton's
matronly beauty and dignity were en-
HANGED by a handsome black velvet

girlish lovliness of Miss Dorothy Full
ton was emphasized by beautiful
but simple dress of white embro!der-
ed batiste.
A delicious ice course was served
and rock was played at eleven tables.
