@. prettily entwined. Each mirror and
each of the three doorways leading to the
Green and Red parlorB and the corridor
had suspended in the centre garland OF
pink and white roses. Over the central
door was scroll OF red and white immor-
telles, with itE Pluribns Unum' III blue.
Between these doors were grouped nenriy
to the ceiling geraninm plants in every
hue and blossom, their own foliage
forming the background, dotted here
and there with tall spikes OF white lilies.
In front of these groups were two tall
candelabra holding dozen candles each,
which were lighted during the ceremony
and added great deal to give the scene
n picturesque effect. The furniture of
this apartment was nearly all removed,
excepting the wide sofas and a convenient
chair or two for Secretary Manning, that
he might go about the room as much as
he pleased and still not get unnecessarily |
fatigued.
IN the East Room the furniture was |
pushed together, 80 as to give the stately |
apartment home-like air, and the effect, |
with small company moving through it,
made quite an ideal scene.

acement of Col. Lamont, and they worked
so smoothly and satisfactorily es to earn
for him universal commendation and
compliment.
