SOCIETY NOTES 
The most brilliant gathering of 
Boston society thus far this winter 
was that of last Friday night when 
the first of the two assemblies was 
held at the Copley-Plaza. The ball- 
room was simply but etfectively dec- 
orated with garlands of southern 
smilax here and there. The favors 
were most attractive. One each side 
was a tall basket filled with wands, 
those in one being tipped with red and 
pink roses, and in the other clusters 
of artificial ferns tied with green 
tulle. There were also other pretty 
favors. The cotillon, which was danc- 
ed before supper, was led by Mrs. 
Bryce J. Allan and S. Hooper Hooper. 
In the receiving line were Mrs. Wm. 
Appleton, Mrs. Edward D. Brande- 
gee, Mrs. A. P. Gardner, Mrs. Oliver 
Ames, Mrs. Gordon Abbott, Mrs. 
Rodolphe L. Agassiz and Mrs. S.V. 
R. Crosby. Mrs. Francis L. Higgin- 
son gave one of the largest dinners 
that night, one for 80 guests, at the 
Chilton club. To tell who was at the 
assembly would be to print a list of 
Boston’s “‘400” and their families and 
guests. :
