Miss Burpan thentic scene of
h Southland
and a worthy reproduction of the
Roca Baton Club.

was an ocean shore scene with a
yellow full moon in the dark blue
sky. Real palm trees were Silhouetted
against the SKY, and overhead the
ceiling was concealed by canopy
reproducing the sky with clouds
floating by. Yew trees stood straight
against the garden walls of one side
of the room, and across the way was
the terrace of the reproduced club
house. Sparkling water splashed in
a fountain, surrounded by verita-
BILE garden of banana trees and
flowers. Ted Weems' orchestra
played from veranda, separated
from the ballroom by balustrades,
dripping ivy and marked with pots
of flowers.
Guests walked down the foyer,
arched with dropping Spanish moss,
interspersed with pink and white
roses. Huge chandeliers in the
lounge between the dining room and
green room were hung with moss,
roses and orchids.

on it was a pot of orchids and
<standing on the floor a tiny orange
free. The entire end of the foyer
was masSed with flowers around a
splashing fountain. Trees bearing
oranges lined the garden wall as if
trained by expert gardeners. The
buffet table was laid with gold and
blue lame cloth, frightened by silver
baskets holding citrus fruits. Op-
posite the table. which stood in
front of a make believe white
washed plaster wall. sheltered by
a red tiled semi-roof, was an ocean
scene-the waves moved, seagulls
dipped and scared in the blue sky
and a beacon in lighthouse flick
cred on and off.
Guests ate at tables with umbrel-
las over them. Small bowls of citrus
fruits with occasional Mowers
frightened the tables.
