The Midwinter Ball. 



It has been apparent as the season 

 progresses that society is entertaining 

 extensively. This is a distinct contrast 

 to last season, when the entertainments 

 were few and their expenditure was 

 niuch curtailed. This contrast was 

 clearly seen in the midwinter ball that 

 took place in Horticultural hall on the 

 evening of February 4. The ball was 

 larger, much larger, than last year, and 

 the decorations were handsomer in pro- 

 portion. These decorations, arranged 

 "7 J. J. Habermehl's Sons, gave much 



pleasure to those present. The colors 

 employed were chiefly yellow and white, 

 with great masses of delicate green to 

 set off the flowers, and innumerable elec- 

 tric lights to enhance the effect. The 

 most unusual flower that graced the 

 scene was Acacia pubescens, much 

 prized for its refined and graceful 

 beauty. The most striking flower was 

 the golden forsythia, so popular in our 

 spring shrubbery, boldly arranged in 

 large gilt baskets. Azaleas, daffodils 

 and tulips were freely used. The num- 

 ber of guests was estimated at 1,000. 



For Valentines. 



Through the courtesy of J. Max 

 Nitzschke it is possible to describe in 

 this column a pretty valentine specialty 

 at the moment it is hanging in his win- 

 dow at the Forrest Flower Shop. The 



valentine consists of an old-fashioned, 

 gilt, French basket of moderate size. 

 From the top of the long, looplike han- 

 dle is suspended a tiny Cupid by a 

 bronze cord. On one side, also on the 

 handle, is a red heart pierced by an 

 arrow. The basket is filled with Sweet- 

 heart roses. Other baskets of similar 

 designs are filled with other flowers, 

 such as sweet peas. Ward roses, red 

 roses, daisies or forget-me-nots. It mat- 

 ters little so that the flowers harmonize 

 with the sentiment of the day. These 

 baskets and kindred creations are prov- 

 ing increasingly popular. They retail 

 at $1.50, $2 and $2.50 each.
