given by the Assembly Club, always
one of the most important social at
fairs of the Yuletide season, was held
in the auditorium Of the Masonic
temple Friday night and was one Of
great beauty and brilliancy. Christ
mas greens and poinsettas decorated
not only the ball room but the re-
ception rooms where guests were
grouped at intermission between
dances.
The stage was veritable bower Of
beauty. A high hedge of tall palms
and vines Of smilax with crimson
blossoms were interlaced through an
artistic white lattice. Balsam trees
stood gracefully on the corners while
an opening Of the lattice was a
charming archway Of garlands Of
greenery and ferns studded with In
Vulnerable bulbs Of electric lights
peeping from the center Of the bright
Christmas flowers. Under this
bower of beauty which was crowned
with fitness for the Yuletide greet
