when the banquet was in progress the scene
presented was one Of rare spiendOr. The hand
Of the florist had transformed the apartment
into bewitching grotto in fairy land. Upon the
snowy cloth were arranged bright flowers In
reckless piofusion, while, mingling with fruit,
nOwefs ana wOndrOus dishes, the bright silver
ware gttered In the light Of numerous gas Jets
ana the soft rays Of nfy four wax candles rising
from radiant candelahra. The recesses formed
by the bow windows were turned into beautiful
consefvatOries, and delicious effect was pro-
duced ~ placing large mirrors against the win
dows as background for the plants. The re-

one window was little grove of orange trees
and banana plants; another was miniature
forest Of tropical palms bonding gracefully to
the carpet and n third recess was filled with
ferns of every description, enrapturing to the
vision. The walls were hung with paintings OF
figures and landscapes, while eighteen cages,
filled with golden-winged feathered songsters,
were suspended from the ceilings at appropriate
Intervals. Mammoth Ornamental bronzes OF
costly make and vases hlled with palms
greeted the eye at every turn. IL was In such
an apartment that Mr.. Sharon's "old friends OF

board found near his napkin, a bill Of fare
craved upon a heavy plate Of solid silver, dug

border was eDgaved on each side Of the plate,
inclosing the reading matter. On the front OF
