for these rooms, with the rugs and
drapings were banked behind the sta
ton occupied by the receiving line,
were supplied by the firm of Jack &
Hartley.
The stage, where was established the
orchestra, which added such an i'm
portant feature to the evenings pro-
gram, was a bower of greenery, fir
boughs and tiny trees being used there
with beautiful effect. At either side
of the stage were tables from which
cool drinks were served during the
dancing, and there were also on either
side of the stage large rustics pagodas,
decorated with innumerable red roses,
which offered more seats for the on
lockers during the activities of the
evening. Electrical effects of various
color schemes played their part during
the night in making this always
beautiful room specially charming.

concert program was rendered by Ar
