friends, was in black velvet
with a shoulder cape Of
sable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl A. Zol-

for her beauty, wore black
velvet with the round decol-
letage bordered with ermine

to see Robert V. Fleming,
who is not only a leading
banker here, but equally
we'll known in banking cir
cles throughout the United
States, dancing with his
pretty daughter, dolly" "
the other evening. There
wasn't a man in the room
that did not envy him, for
without doubt she has more
charm than any two girls,
and the best part is she is so
completely unspoiled.
She had on a black moire
gown with a square decol-
letage, with diamond clips
at either corner, and a
scalloped skirt which ter
minated in a graceful train.
This was faced with cherry
red taffeta, and was par.
ticularly effective when she
danced.
Mrs. Fleming, who might
easily pass for her daugh-
ter's sister, wore a lovely
gown of black velvet, an
off-the-shoulder model which
had a bertha of the most
exquisite point lace made
to exactly fit the top, which
dipped into a point at the
back. Several diamond or
naments a dde d a smart
touch to the whole.
