Mrs. Zera Snow gave a delightful re ception and dance on Friday evening, at her home, on the northeast corner of Twentieth and Johnson streets. The resi dence, which Is one of the most artistic in the city, gave unlimited opportunities for decorations, and the hostess had availed herself of these to the fullest ex tent. The large highway, with its walls and ceilings of polished walnut, was made picturesque in the extreme, by the em bellishment of graceful bunches of hem lock placed at intervals about the apart ment, depending from beautifully carved woodwork on the side walls. The electro liers were all entwined with cordons of feathery evergreens, studded here and there with bright mountain ash berries. The tall mantel could not but command admiration. It was framed with a garland: of soft greens, gracefully depending from the top and falling down to the floor on either side, while here and there on the mantel -were exquisite Venetian vases. which held in place crimson carnations. The fireplace below was filled In with an exquisite assortment of begonias. At either side of the broad stairway were great clusters of waving palms and tall fern trees, while here and there were graceful umbrella plants. Suspended from the middle of the hallway was an ef fectively arranged bunch of mistletoe. The drawing-room, with Its highly pol ished floor and Its delicately tinted col orings, only needed a few ornamentations to make the scene complete. These were contributed by boughs of evergreens caught up at intervals onhe cornices and hanging half way down the walls. The dainty white mantel at the north end was entwined with climbing woodland vines, and brightened up by pretty clusters of pink carnations, while the fireplace below was filled In with delicate evergreens. The dining-room was most attractive. In the center was a round table ornamented with sprays of white hyacinths arranged in low cut-glass jars, while gracefully sweeping over the cloth in careless pro fusion were delicate traceries of smilax; here and there about the table were ex quisite pieces of silverware and pretty little dishes filled with bon-bons. At one end sat Mrs. Henry E. Jones, who pre sided over the coffee urn, while opposite was Mrs. T. B. Wilcox, who served tea. The beauty of the room was further en hanced by heavy garlands of evergreens which were gracefully festooned from the chandelier to the corners of the room. Tho sideboards and mantel were decked with hyacinths and maiden-hair fern entwined with smilax. The supper was served from a buffet at on end of the room, the menu being simply delicious. In a cosy nook in one corner of the hall, in a bow er of beautiful evergreens were bowls of white-wine punch and lemonade. The large hallway upstairs was decked with palms and filled with luxurious couches and comfortable divans, which offered a retreat for those who did not care to join in the festivities of the dance. The early portion of the evening was devoted to a reception, during which the orchestra in the small dining-room, discoursed de lightful concert selections, and at 11 o'clock, dancing commenced, the band at that time being stationed in the main drawing-room. When the ball was at its height, the scene was one of unusual beauty, the plcturesqueness of the Inter ior, the beautiful carvings of the wood work, and exquisite decorations only served to throw into bold relief the bril liant jewels and the magnificent toilets of the lovely women present, the whole forming a beautiful kaleidoscopic picture of exquisite color-blending. A very pretty little Incident occurred about 11 o'clock, when the formal engagement was an nounced of Mr. J. Wesley Ladd and Miss Dela Donelson. It happened at a moment when they were standing together at the foot of the broad stairway. They were immediately surrounded by their friends, and congratulations were poured forth on all sides. Mr. Ladd looked very proud and happy, and Miss Donelson accepted the good wishes of her friends with charming grace. The toilets of the ladies were ex tremely handsome. Mrs. Zera Snow wore white silk mulle, bodice trimmed with rosettes of pale yel low velvet. Mrs. H. E. Jones wore black velvet, or namented with cut jet; ornaments, dia monds. Mrs. T. B. Wilcox wore Eau de Nil duchess satin, with bertha of rich lace. Among those present were: Judge and Mrs. McArthur, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Deady, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
