The diuinjf-room which was an exten- sion was decorated with roses. There was all the shades of pink, in Mermets, La France, Souvs and Bon Sileue, deepen- ing down to Papa Gontier of which sever- al hundred were used. The mantel was banked in the style 1 if a slope running high at one end and cutting down sharply at not quite half the length. This was done with Gontiers which were fringed at all edges with a wide liand of their own foliage. A vase of irridcscent glass held long stem American Beauties and stood on the end of the uiautel not banked. The plaques that decorated the walls of Delmonico's for last Patriarchs' ball were extremely elegant,particularly those made solely of foliage. There were gar- lands attached to these ovals, many of which were five feet long, that hung over with careless grace. Among the most effective of this greenery was the long garland of smilax and lygodium scandens which are so successfully aud symmetri- cally grown together by Mr. William Wilson, at Astoria. The plaques formed of rose bunches were shorn when the german was danced as the clusters tied with narrow ribbons were presented as favors. The valenced baskets of which we had r picture in the number of Dec. 15, are having a great run for souvenirs mostly, or to place on a tripod or piano. They are too high for table centre-pieces andtoo gaudily decked with ribbon. Li- lac baskets which are very favorite for gifts, are trimmed with lilac—a valence aud handle bound aud bowed. Ribbon the ex- actshade of lily of the valley leaves, is used for these baskets when filled with lilies. Myosotis is clustered in baskets trimmed with blue, and so with the white bulbs, such as narcissus and hyacinths, which are filled in white trimmed baskets
