the Woman's Foreign Missionary Association,
The 200 ladies composing the delegation were

corresponding secretary of the Baltimore branch.
The reception took place in the East Room.
which was handsomely adorned with flowers
and plants.
The latest fad among the fortunate ones who
are spending these glorious fall days at country
cottages is to give autumn leaf luncheons"
1t goes without saying that these are "doye
parties which is the new name for what used
to be called "hen parties" The men are all
virtually in winter quarters now, and the girls
remaining in the country are exercising their
skill and ingenuity and killing time in getting
up very artistic luncheons. At Mt. Desert a
prospective debutante gave lovely autumn
leaf luncheon last week The highiy-polished
mahogany table had a square of white silk in
the centre. This silken piece was embroidered
in autumn leaves. large amber bowl, filled
with goldenrod and sprays of flaming maple,
rested on the embroidered square. The glass
service was all of yellow and red In the amber
fnger-bowls autumn leaves foated. The menu
cards, of scarlet silk, were cut to represent
sprays of autumn leaves. Each guest had at
her place big bunch of Michaelmas daisies.
The youthful hostess wore a gown Of green
and yellow silk, with corsage bouquet of golden
rod.
Rich old heirloom laces are again in STYLE
particularly at weddings. The Marchoness OF
Harcourt wore a royal dress of richest violet
satin, covered with petticoat of Honiton lace,
III,
which took place recently in London. Honiton
is Queen Nictorias favorite lace, and her daugh-
ters have all worn wells of this lovely web at
their weddings. The Queen, at her own we'd
ding, made a new departure in bridal costumes.
1t had been the almost universal custom for
brides to wear white bonpets instead of the
now conventional veil. The Queen set this late
fashion by discarding the bonnet wreathed with
orange blossoms for a veil. The Annudl Reals
ter says: Her dress was rich white SATIN
trimmed with orange flowers, and on her head she
wore q wreath Of the same blossoms, over
which, but not so as to conceal her face, a
beautiful veil of Honiton lace was thrown"
One of the most entertaining events of the
week was that given on Thursday evening last
by Lieut.. Worth g. Ross, of the revenue marine
service, in the school-room of st. Stephens
Church. Lieut. Ross, besides being one of the
brightest and most talented officers of his SER
vice, is somewhat of magician. Indeed his
tricks OF legerdemain as performed on Thurs
day evening would have done credit to Heller
or Hermann, and the large audience was
pleasantly mystified His tricks were per-
formed with all the ease and grace of an old
campaigner. DR.. Ralph Ross assisted Music
mingled with magic on the programme, vocal
and instrumental numbers being rendered by
Miss Katie Powers, Miss Masterson, Miss
Glennan, Mr.. Charles Goodchild, Mr. Nolan and
Professor Sheriff.

Miss Hine on Thursday gave an ante-nuptial
tea in honor of Miss Annie A. Wilson, who is

ding ceremony. Each of them received q
pretty souvenir in choice china, the ornamental
ton including the monogram of the recipient.
Folded in the napkin Of each guest was found

Another pretty conceit was to have the cakes
and sandwiches served heart shape, ornamented
with delicate bit Of ribbon. Altogether 1t
was charming affair, and will be long pleas
