Spring flowers in profusion, ferns and evergreen transformed the hall into a beauty-bower. Stands of potted plants were conspicuous, while the windows rivalled the hanging gardens. To the left of the orchestra stand, with por-tiers and drapery, a tete-a tete corner was half concealed, half seen. A peep within disclosed an eastern room, furs and Smyrna rugs covered the floor. The tables and mirrors were' graced with flowers: tulips, Easter lilies and felms were the favorites.
