many attendant on the Mardi Gras
ball that given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Templeton Croker at the st.
Francis hotel, was the largest and i
most elaborate. More than 200 guests
assembled at their invitation in the
Italian room, which was handsomely I
decorated in way that was as beauti-l
fdl as II was novel.
The guests were seated at three /
long tables, with the hosts presiding
over the center one. Cloth OF gold i
covered the board, gold tissue woven
with blue having marked the table at 4

with pink that on the other. Azaleas.
hyacinths, cinerareas. roses and rho
dodendrons were chosen for the floral
arrangement, these blooms having /
been held in exquisite glass vases and
urns OF Italian workmanship; and the
candelabra which also ornamented the
tables were Of the high, graceful X
shapes Of carved wood that are typi 1
cal Of that country. Slender expresses
standing against the walls and masses
OF yivid-toned azaleas served to deco
rate the rest CT the room, the whole
as perfect an effect as one could read

gold that represented the Siamese
Idea Of beauty In long fingernails. The
costume was probably the most re-
markable seen at the ball.--San Fran
