 so that its perfections show. The re- 

 ception room, where the patronesses 

 stood between the top of the stairway 

 and the entrance to the ballroom, was

 and spring flowering bulbs. Colored

 their aid to enhance the loveliness of 

 the scene. So admirably was the ma- 

 terial arranged that the assembly ball 

 committee, who know what's what as 

 well as who's who, pronounced it the 

 best decoration that had ever been 

 arranged for this historic event.
