that she would not DO able to 60 down stairs
and she Immediately had notes sent to all the
ladies who had been invited to receive with her

room. Lieut.. Cowies was at Mrs. Mckee's left
and announced the name of each visitor after it
had been repeated to him by Usher Turner
Lieut.. Rowan also stood facing the ladies and
in many ways contributed to their pleasure.

ceivers and received and the two hours of the
reception went by very agreeably.

carnation silk with black lace. Mrs. Russell
Harrison, a white China silk that had Mar
guerlte sprays embroidered in the trimflainG.

trimming. Mrs. Kitchen was in black lace with
olive velvet, and Mrs. Foster, black lace with
bronze passementeries. Mrs. Huston and Mrs.
Lacey did not receive their notes of regret from
Mrs. Harrison and so arrived to take part in the

| by Mrs. Mckee and remained to entertain those
who fingered in the red room. After 4 o'clock
Mrs. Mckee invited her receiving party to the
private dining room to enjoy light collation.
