The colors of the flag were beau
tifully carried out here, and the
electric lights and many red shaded
candles cast warm glow over the
lovely scene. The table was cover
ed with a handsome Renaissance
lace cover, over red satin, and the
centerpiece was of gorgeous red
and white chrysanthemums.
At intervals between the candles
were violets and smilax and ferns
forming a tracery around the table
and made connecting line between
the candles and violets. Red, white
and blue mints filled bon bon dish
es.> The mantels and other parts of
the room were banked in ferns and
flowers. The pages of the conven:
ton, Misses Moses, Watson, Marion
Mobley, Bessie Ford Turner, Virgie
Courtney and Bette Waters, with
several other young maidens served
block cream in the flag colors, with
pound cake. From here the guests
passed into the library to enjoy the
music.
The scene was of such beauty,
happiness and pleasure, that every
one fingered, as if loath to leave so
bright and charming surroundings.
