rated for the occasion. Among the
floral ornaments, the most marked
was the large bell, made OF lilies OF
the valley, carnations, cameiias, fu-
chsias, geraniums, roses, tube roses, etc.
In the room was fine display of be-
gonias aud other foliage plants. The
large chandelier in the center Of the
room was decorated with smilax and
. ivy twined around most tastefully.

to MIR. Hall, superint sndert of the
} "Island Home" farm, who was once
employed permanently to decorate the
palatial dining hall Of Delmonico's, In
