sented themselves at Mrs. Jones’hos¬
pitable home. They were shown in-
ing wraps were greeted by the hostess,
who was resplendent in a black lace
over a lemon-coiored satin, and car¬
ried in her hand an immense bunch
of yellow roses.
After greeting each guest, the host-
eass asked her tp “take her lemon to
the dining-room and register.’’ The
dining-room was a blase of gold-
en light from tiny fairy lamps with
yellow shades. The dining table had
lemon-colored silk napery, which was
relieved by a flat center piece of deli¬
cate- ferns and Catherine Mermet
row. At a side table sat a lady and
gentleman, wh», all were informed,

the glass bowl containing the seeds
was placed on the table and a prize of¬

“guess” had been duly registered,
the seeds were counted and the prizes
awarded. T^e winner of the grand
prize, coming within three of
the correct number, received an ex¬
quisite lemon-colored glass lemonade
bowl, while the “booby” was made

A prize was then awarded to her
