While they awaited t guests the passed in ple exchanging of felici- tatio; in honor of the occasion. The decorations in the main recep- tion room were in green smilax and roses, while the foyer was in green with a &uggestion of cedar. Everywhere there was color light. Once the and assemblage had gathered the scene be- came truly brilliant. The costumes of that the art of the 3 could conceive, while the throng there were not a few creations that emanated from Felix and Dusee. It was generally commented on that t has rarely been seen to- gether so many beautiful women. ‘With the gathering of the guests the festivities began. They continued to pour in with a volume of good wishes and congratulations, and the two Miss Spreckels were kept busy for over two hours doing the honors—and most gracefully and modestly did they de- port themselves. That they achieved such a gratifying success is due solely to their own charm of manner and in- e of propriety. Mr. and Mrs. were the recipients also of the felicitations of their friends. The assemblage. embraced the young and old alike, for it was but befitting that old age and youth should join hands in merrymaking on such an occasion. The dancing began at 11 o’clock. With the first notes of the dreamy waltz the floor became a scene of motion—beauti- ful motion in which the grace of woman | and the agility of man made a picture pleasing to the eye. True it was slightly crowded, but no one seemed to mind that at all, and there was always room for one more couple. Hardly would the notes of the waltz subside before the livély strains of the catchy two-step would set every foot agoing and then again the young people made merry, while the more settled folks sat and looked on at the enjoyment in which they were co-equal participants with the dancers. To the eye the effects of the beautiful gowns worn by the women was especially noticeable during the dancing. It was after midnight when the col- lation was served. Covers were lald for §50 guests. The banquet hall was on the first floor. In point of menu and exc¢ellencé of service it was one of the most perfect feasts that has been served in San Francisco for many years. From the oysters to the coffee there was everything that could tempt the taste. The scene at the supper was one of festivity heightened by personal enjoy- ment that was not soon to be forgotten. Many were the crystal bumpers that were filled to toast the health of the two fair hostesses. The supper lasted considerably over an hour. At its con- clusion the dancing was resumed and continued until a late hour, when after one of the most enjoyable occasions ever experienced in the social circles of tlijs city the guests took their depart- a4 Grace Spreck- | while | and he forms of the dancers as | time was | | Mrs. John D.
