attractive, w,ith its profuse decorations
of cut flowers and growing plants. In
the spacious hall were many handsome
jardiniere holding stately palms and
glowing oxalis. The elegant drawing
rooms were beautifully decorated with
daffodils, jonquils, and hyacinths and
were brilliant with many lights dainti
ly capped with yellow satin shades—
here Dr. and Mrs Drewry received and
entertained their guests with a delight
ful hospitality. The dining room of
this lovely home is one of its most at*
tractive rooms and on Monday after*
noon was made doubly attractive by
tall vases of American Beauty roses.
The table, with its dainty appoint*
ments, was all that was beautiful —
running diagnally acrors it, were two
broad bands of satin —one each of
American Beauty and green, with a
delicate tracery of amilax between the
two. On Either side were bunches of
roses tied with green ribbons, and
huge blocks of ice hollowed, and filled
with green-stemmed strawberries-
The lights, with dainty shades of
American Beauty crepe paper suffused
a soft radiance over this beautiful pic
ture. Elegant refreshments of salads,
zephyrettes, olives, cheese sickts,
strawberries with whipped cream and
cake were served. Mrs. Drewry who
