THE Subscription club dances which
in the past have been premier over
q anything Salem society has ever
enjoyed, bid fair again this season to
be the most notable functions of the
winters gayeties.
In fact so enthusiastic have its mem
bers become that the dances are re-
garded as more and more important and
II requires courage indeed not to at
tend these brilliant funetiOns.ln spite of
the size of these affairs, the coterie
that makes up the Subscription list
can enter into its amusement with the
WhOle-hearted zest that makes for thor
Ough enjoyment, with the result that
the dances give the suggestion of in
formality, despite the fact that they
are undoubtedly the largest and most
formal functions that society here spon-
sors.
The second of this season 3 parties
which was given ON Tuesday night at
the Masonic Temple was no less wonder
full than preceding affairs, although
entirely different. AGAIN the members
of the club are indebted to two or
three of group of prominent matrons,
ON whom society always depends to ad-
functions of every year.
The attractive BAN rooms were
thrown together for the event and the
walls almost completely concealed be-
hind handsome Oriental rugs and tapes
tries, frightened here and there by
vivid colored lights painted a picture
of far Eastern sumptuOusness.
There were Oriental divans orna-
mented with pillows OF many colors in
every nook and corner and huge bask-
cts of salal leaves hanging everywhere
The glow from handsome pedestal
lamps and myriads of candles suffused
the rooms in a rainbow of vivid color,
visualizing the poets conception of
such an enchanted place.
To add to the atmosphere of the af-
fair the orchestra played several ori-
entail selections before the dance.
There were some new and lovely
gowns worn at the dance. A few OF
those noticed follow:
Mrs Thomas A, Livesley-Beautifu
gown of sapphire blue tulle over satin
with trimmings of silver.
Mrs. Asahel Bush--Pannier gown of
orchid and magenta satin, the bOuffant
side drape being fastened with festOons
of pearl beads. The bodice was of pearl
beads and ribbon embroidery. A hand
some pink ostrich feather fan cOmplet-
cd this lovely gown.
Mrs. Frederic ID. Thielsen--Charm
ing gown Of apricot satin, very full
draped skirt over gold lace underskirt.
The bodice was of gold lace and tulle.

design edged with canary colored rib
bon.
