this spring they all in a manner fitted in
with the gold trimmed plates and the butter

childish eyes and no color wore A grey open

quaintest shape imaginable. and the silver

high at the back WAS set a bunch of the pale
pink primulas. A prettier one was all gold

close-set golden red berries. But the hats
were most interesting. There WAS one
worn by one of those uorcelaine beauties
who always excite q suspicion that they are
made up when sometimes they are not at

a narrow lace-llke edge of dull gold tinsel
and %puffings. Long-stemmed sweet peas in

beneath them, and accepted with fewer
reservations covered the crown and drooped
almost into the eyes. A huge hat a black

whose cover has been lifted to inspect the
inside. 1t had a fiat brim gathered full

original c~oiffure of all was a cornucopia
of jet rising from a mass of soft pink crepe
and having BOWS of black velvet at the back
with long streamers. To every woman on
her departure was given a little gold and

slips tied in with the ribbons.

turn of the flowers. A buttercup breakfast
on Thursday was an example SO much IN

country fower-but the big yellow COW

their satiny yellow petals. These the host

we were supposed to accept for

middle of the table was placed a low oval

their own bush leaves. Wax tapers, per-
fumed and tinted yellow, were supported in
low, wide-arned candelabra of Servia

''individual'' flower vases in cream and gold
porcelain holding each one sprig of the
