the lovely purple iris and pink snap
dragons, and lighted with white can
dies in silver candlesticks. A buffet
supper was served at IL o'clock.
A smoking room for the gentlemen
was cozily arranged with easy chairs
and rugs. The music of Daggett's or
ichestra was of an unusually fine quail
tty and was much enjoyed. Frappe was
served throughout the evening.
The dresses worn by the hostesses
and their guest were very beautiful.
! Mrs. Borah, with her golden hair
dressed high above her delicate face,
was a dainty figure in French gown
of taupe and Russian blue tulle, the
bodice decorated with cut steel. The
graceful flowing sleeves of the tulle
were modish and pretty. A large pink
rose yelled in the tulle was half hidden
in the folds Of the dress low on the
skirt.
Mrs. Grunbaum wore an elegant
gown of cloth of silver and silver net
with steel trimmings. Long panels of
the cloth of silver ornamented with
rhinestones fell down the front of the
gown. Mrs. Ormsby wore black silk and
point lace. Mrs. Moore was in Law
ender and blue tulle, the skirt of small
ruffles of the lavender over the blue,
and a broad blue girdle. Miss Grun-
baum was fascinating in a picturesque
1880 dress of turquoise blue satin of
ruffles corded with a deeper shade OF
the satin and hoop in each ruffle.
The basque was plain with a pointed
front and white lace falling away from
the shoulders. A pink rose caught the
lace at the left shoulder. A very large
bouquet of rare orchids was carried
with this pquaht costume. Miss
Ormsby wore an imported gown of
white taffeta with silver lace and
black tulle, ornamented with tiny
pink rose buds.
Miss Rosalie Grunbaum was charm
ing in a girlish frock of peach col
ored taffeta with Georgette crepe of the
same shade caught with tiny pink rose
buds. Among the guests We're the for
lmer Boise residents, children of the
Ipioneer families, who are now visit
ing in the city. About one hundred
couples were invited.
