crimson roses and carnations, ar¬
ranged in charming effect. The din¬
ing room with its handsome colonial
mantel, red walls, pretty ferns and
foliage plants, Interspersed with
howls and vases of crimson roses
and fra grant carnations artistically
arranged on mantle, buffet, and sew¬
ing table, made a pretty back
ground for the handsomely appointed
table. Suspended from the chande

of red and blue tulle with streameis
extending to within a foot of each
corner of the table, caught together
with a bunch of carnations and fern.
In the center of the table resting
on a pretty lace cover, was a Large
bowl of crimson roses, in the center
of which was a tall cut glass vase
filled with crimson carnations. Sur¬
rounding this was a graceful, pretty
arrangement of springerie feni. At
either end of the table was placed
a handcome silver candelabra, hold¬
ing crimson unshaded tapes. The
place cards were very unique, bear¬
ing the name of the guest on one
side, and a play of words on each
man’s name on the other, tied with
blue and red ribbons. These were
read after the dinner and afforded
much amusement. A most delicious
