Board of Friendly Visitors Covers Itself With Glory in Arrangement of Most Attractively Appointed Social Event of Season

Attending one of the most attractive ly appointed social events ever given in Phoenix, more than two hundred guests enjoyed the brilliant charity ball at the Woman's club last evening. The board of visitors of St Luke's may now rule local society as it wills as a result of the affair and the coffers of the Home will be benefited to the ex- tent of many hundreds of dollars.
 Mrs. William G. Hartranft chairman of the board and Mrs. Herbert Burr Atha and Mrs. Gordon Tweed of the arrangement committee planned the entire affair that in smartness and pleasure surpassed any function of the year The decorative scheme was un- usually lovely. The carrying out of the green and red color tone under the di rection of Mrs. Leo Goldman, was clev- CT and original olive branches and pepper boughs combined to bank the mantel in the reception hall beneath which hung holiday wreaths with bows of satin ribbon. The stairway was un decorated but the newel post was mounted with a great green cluster, huge bow knot of vivid scarlet tile ad- ding just the touch of color to render it most effective The auditorium where Lindley Calhoun Morton directed the dance, was especially pretty. The stage held an high footlight decoration that screened the orchestra from view The greenery was relieved by lovers knots of tule and artistic baskets of ferns were here and there to break the regular outline of the stage. The side lights were showered in greens and tulle In the secretarys room where buffet supper was presided over by Mrs F.. J. Bennett a charming effect was obtained by festooning of pepper boughs The tables centerpiece was deep red carnations, the only flowers used, and the silver vase that held them matched the handsome silver service.
 The card room upstairs was in charge of Mrs. Ancil Martin and here too, the green and red scheme pre- vailed There were tables for auction and five hundred and prizes were awarded.
 The guests were received by Mrs. Edward Kent, Mrs Joseph H. Kibbey, Mrs Dwight B. Heard, Mrs. Walter Talbot and Mrs. F. J. Gillette.
