INFORMALITY and strenuosity have

sions owing to the Rose Carnival,
which monopolized the attention of young
and old and kept the entire city en fete
for a period of six days.

mory was a gratifying success, the pres
ence of the officers of the Charleston

Splendid audiences greeted the trio of
performances of the New York Symphony
orchestra. Mme. Nordica naturally was
received with great enthusiasm, and was
in fine voice. Called at the briefest pos
sible notice from the wilds of Idaho,
where she was rusticating, after her bril
liant New York successes, she was some
what unprepared as to concert gowns,
while her beautiful diamonds, emeralds
and pearls, for which she Is famous are
lying in a New York safe deposit.
At the matinee, however, she made a
striking appearance in a Dresden gown
of white, with pastel blue flowers,
worn with .a stunning: mandarin
coat and a much-beplumed hat of black.
In the evening she appeared in a d$
collette robe of a mode tone, elaborately
6tudded with emerald green sequins. As
a compliment, her coiffure and bodice
were arranged with roses In the carnival
shades. A pretty attention shown
the glorious diva after each number by
the spontaneous encore she received from
the hands of the famous Damrosch.
Those who had the pleasure of meet
ing Mrs. Damrosch, who was a daughter
of the late James G. Blaine, were much
attracted by her gracious manner.
On Wednesday after the concert Miss
Lois Steers and Miss Wynn Coman were
the hosts at a supper with Mme. Nordica
and Mr. and Mrs. Damrosch as the guests
of honor. They also took the distin
guished visitors motoring on several
occasions.

gagement to Etienne Lanel, Consul-Gen-eral
of France, in New York, who, up

his country at San Francisco. Miss Mc
Kee is a sister of Mrs. Norman Lang, of
