Seldom has a gathering of society been featured by such bright colors, | in gowns, wraps and ornaments, as was displays There were fow jewels, for society does not choose opening night to reveal its full splen- dor, but reserves them for its more private functions. Silver alone and toned into deli- cate shades of green and blue gave a glowing background to the par- terre boxes and the dress circle despite the background of sombre dress suits worn by the men.
