6 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
Tapestried walls and decorations of southern smi- 
lax made a beautiful setting for the dance which Miss 
Helen Hooper gave at the hotel Somerset, Boston, last 
Friday night, the cards having been sent out in the 
name of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Ames 
of 15 Commonwealth av. Miss Hooper, who was as- 
sisted in receiving by Mrs. Ames, wore a gown of 
white satin with pearl trimmings, and her chaperone, 
Mrs. Nathaniel Horton, wore a beautifully fitting cos- 
tume of black velvet. Mrs. Ames, who has been in ill- 
health for the past few weeks, left shortly after sup- 
per. The walls of the large ball room were covered 
with rare tapestries bordered with southern smilax, a 
few having been taken from Miss Hooper’s Boston, 
heme on Beacon st., although the greater part of them 
came from New York. They were so valuable that 
they were protected by an insurance of $100,000 before 
they were shipped to Boston. The designs were ex- 
quisitely woven into the fabric so clearly in fact that 
it seemed as if the figures might have been painted 
by an artist. There were scenes from the crusades, 
natural woodland views and pictures of the court 
gardens‘of France, with ladies of the period in the fore- 
ground.’ The windows of the ball room were hung 
with yellow draperies bordered with southern smilax, 
and smilax decorated the balconies and other portions 
of the room. At the head of the ball room were ar- 
ranged the favors, which were among the loveliest noted 
tLis season. They included bouquets of violets, gard- 
enlas, roses, lilies of the valley and forget-me-nots in 
the style of 1830, with lace paper edges; fans decorat- 
ed with: scarlet poppies, lilies and roses; boutonnieres 
of gardenias and violets; hand mirrors in gilt frames; 
gilt fratied pictures; gilt ash trays and small electric 
flashlights. The palm room was decorated with palms 
and greenery and was used for a sitting-out room. 
Mr. S. Hooper Hooper, a relative, who had charge 
of the arrangements for the ball, led the cotillon 
with Miss Hooper. There were 975 acceptances for 
the dance, a number of guests coming over from New 
York, Philadelphia and other cities for the occasion. 
Supyrer was served at small tables which were decorat- 
ed with pots and baskets of yellow jonquils. Two 
orchestras furnished the music with 60 players, one 
being Berger’s Hungarian orchestra, which came over 
from New York. Benjamin Joy was in charge of the 
ushers, and he was assisted by Beverly Rantoul, Hey- 
liger de Windt, Francis C. Gray, Richard M. Everett, 
I. Tucker Burr, Jr., William Prescott Wolcott, Oliver
