At the officers' ball at the Civic audi- 

 torium on the evening of September 2 

 the stately, dignified manner of decora- 

 tion was the subject of much favorable 

 comment. The Misses Warren had 

 charge of this feature of the entertain- 

 ment in honor of the officers of the fleet 

 and the rather difficult task of decorat- 

 ing the huge assembly hall was a suc- 

 cess in every way. Quantities of 

 greens, many of which were donated by 

 the park, were banked about the bal- 

 cony and corners of the great room, 

 eliminating the usual effect of bare- 

 ness. Garlands of salal were strung 

 along the walls, with drops of purple 

 asters between each garland. The main 

 entrance to the ballroom was flanked 

 with stately urns filled with masses of 

 purple asters, while at regular intervals 

 about the circular room bordered by 

 the boxes were set pots of cypress ar- 

 ranged in true Italian manner. Sep- 

 arating the boxes were hedges of ever- 

 green on a foundation of wire, while 

 the same manner of arrangement was 

 carried out in the balconies. The stage 

 which held the musicians was simply 

 decorated with urns holding cerise and 

 lavender asters linked together with 

 garlands of salal. To the right and left 

 of the stage alcove tall cut trees and 

 shrubbery gave the impression of a dig- 

 nified landscape. 



The Nelligan Sisters, at 1203 Sutter 

 street, signified their welcome to the 

 fleet by an American flag made entire- 

 ly of red, white and blue cape 'flowers. 

 The flag was placed in a l)ank of potted 

 ferns and occupied an entire window of 

 the establishment. 



Joseph's shop, on Grant avenue, pre- 

 sented a most attractive appearance last 

 week. The o-story building was deco- 

 rated with window boxes filled with 

 masses of purple asters and yellow chry- 

 santhemums. G. Wagner, of the dec- 

 orating staff, achieved an exceedingly 

 successful window last week with a 

 color scheme of blue and orange. A 

 sheaf of oriental ])ods, the seed pod of 

 the Japanese iris, which, half open, dis- 

 plays a brilliant orange-scarlet seed, 

 was arranged fan-wise in one corner of 

 the window, while a huge mass of chry- 

 santhemums, relieved with masses of 

 maidenhair fern about the base of the 

 vase, gave the necessary height to the 

 entire display. A number of oriental 

 objects of art were used to accent the 

 color note wherever necessary. Mr. 

 Wagner leaves this week for a vaca- 

 tion of a month or six weeks. After 

 spending a week at the beaches in 

 southern California, he intends leaving 

 for the east, calling on the trade in a 

 number of the more important cities
