E7T7HE Thanksgiving eve reception and
 ball of the Southern club. which S took place last evening was a mo- tably brilliant event
 The club, which is one of the hand somest in the south, was most exquisite ly decorated. The entire place was trans formed into a veritable fairy land. The background was of feather ferns, palms and handsome foliage plants, the rich green making pretty foil for the handsome gowns of the women who were guests of the club.
 The several apartments were most eff fective in arrangement In the reception rooms were massed ferns and flowers, chrysanthemus in their loveliest shades and roses produced a charming effect In the ballroom, only greenery was used and the southern smilax transformed the big apartment into a bower of beauty. Overhead the interlacing of smilax with vines formed a canopy-like effect and the lights gleamed through the smilax and were softened by the tiny brilliant autumn leaves and punches of lucious grapes which were twined around them. The grand march was lead as usual by the. president of the club, MT. Me- Queen, and Mrs. Mcqueen. The women who took part in the grand march never looked lovlier nor their gowns ever so attractive, as there is picturesqueness about the new modes which is especially fitted to the lovely evening frocks. The number of visiting girls was nota- ply large, although the Southern clubs ha1 ic of c11ph Uida fame there are always an elaborate Eng fish buffet supper of roast beef, turkey, hot rolls and other delightful things were served in the cafe.
 There were three large tables arranged in the most attractive and effective man. ner imaginable. The center one, the cof- fee table, was especially handsome, A large silver plaque was suspended from the light in the ceiling with green vines draped. in autumn leaves and punches of grapes, and was filled with autumn fruits and flowers, around which were gar lands of roses.
 The other tables were also centered with a suspended plaque with fruits and flow CTS. The lobster and shrimp aspic added also to the beauty and attractiveness of the tables
 women and girls it is exceedingly difficult to eliminate the many and choose the few to mention as all were at their best and Birningham's smart set was in its gayest and happiest mood.
