shached at a feast described by the New
York Mail: "a pretty fancy called q
pink dinner was recently given by q
young married lady of Orange to eigh-

was lighted by candelabra holding pink
candles. In the center Of the table was
i q large bed Of pink roses, three feet IN

well. appointed meal was reached when
the Roman punch was served in pink
pond lilies Of enduring shape. /"
