The prettiest large party of the season
was that given to Mr. and Mrs. Dawes
at the Lincoln on last Friday by Mr.
and Mrs. Burnham, Mr. and Mrs. I. M.
Raymond, Mr. Wing and Mr. Hanna.
The dining room of the Lincoln al
though not (specially constructed for a
ball room, could not bo more admirably
adapted to such a purpose. Tho pillared
panels and deep windows break up tho
will space which thus frames palms and
Hags most effectively. The floor is
smootb,if a trifle unelastic. The especial
charm of tbo place for a party consists
in the architectural arrangement which
placed the room at the outside corner of
a equpre foyer or court with parlors and
dressing rooms on two sides. The long
promenade from the parlors to the doors
of the hall is imposing and between
dances isoccupied by murmuringcouples
improving the semi seclusion. Many
of the younger married set in Lincoln
owo a testimonial to the architect of tho
Lincoln on account of tho opportunities
for the discovery of a grande passion,
which he built icto the Lincoln. But
that is another 6tory. The hosts, with
the guests of honor, stood in the corner
parlor to receive their friends, who, af tar
shaking hands and expressing their
pleasure congratulations, etc., drifted
into the other and later into the foyer
where, recovering from tho formality
which oppresses greetings and leave
taking, they fell into ccsy comersstion.
The rooms were decorated with large
bunches of bridesmaid roses and palms.
The dancing began at 10 and ices were
esrved in the ordinary. Miss
Willoughby's orchestra furnished the
music, The drums and sleigh bells
which were used for tho tirst time gave
body and emphasis to tho time, which
with Miss Willoughby, is always perfect
