ment were the table decorations, and the

diningroom with its handsome appoint

She wore a black taffeta skirt with many
frills of mousselaine de soie, and with it a
waist of taffeta in cream and American
beauty . An elegant jewelled belt and a
round hat of American beauty straw with
pink roses and white wings completed this
very stylish costume.
Mrs. William Davis was elected a mem
ber of the club, and it is needless to say is
a very charming acquisition to an already
■ charming club.
I A bunch of Marchiel. Niel roses tied
with yellow ribbons—a dainty souvenir of
| this pleasant entertainment—was given to
