We deeply regret that the hon ored guest is so soon to leave for a new home, but we congratulate those whose rich gam will be our loss. Each guest, on entering the hall, was served with refreshing punch and the corner from which it was served, with its roses and pot plants proved the most at tractive spot during the even ing. Just before the hour for depar r ture arrived delicious cre.am^ and cake were served by Miss Nona Cooper, little Misses Helen and Caroline Cater and Cater Ro gers.
