Elm Grove motor road. But majority
of the passengers came TO focus at
Altenheim, where the much talked of
concert and entertainment was given
throughout the afternoon and evening.
This picturesque Home for Aged
Women seemed robeC in all the habila-
ments of summer, and the lights and
shadows as they played over the wide and
well-kept lawn, beautifully sloping in
graduating terraces from the building
to the main thoroughfare, made indeed
an effective scene. The view from the
piazzaS is particularly enhancing, and on
such a clear day as was yesterday,
it afforded much enjoyment. Seldom
have the surroundings looked more in
viting and attractive. In the evening
the grounds and building were illu-
mined by variegated lights most skillfnl-
ly arranged, and the effect as viewed
from the station was one Of splendor,
and many were the remarks upon the
tairy-hke scene. The decorations were
arranged under the guidance OF Mrs.
Mary A. Franzheim. Shortly after
three o'clock the guests began TO gather
on the scene, the time before supper
being occupied in strolls about the
grounds and general sociability. The
Lady Managers of the Home had the
affair in their hands and most graceful
ly did they acquit themselves, greeting
one and all with the same pleasant
affability, and ready and willing
at all times to show the guests the COM
forts and convenenceS Of the Institu-

delicacieS one we'll could wish, and all
was finely served. 1t was an elaborate
and admirably gotten up supper The
attendants were among some OF the
most charming maidens on the scene.
In the evening there were nearly
800 people at the Home, and
the interchange of sociability continued
uninterrupted until 10 o'clock, groups
OF congenial spirits gathering here and
there upon the lawn, and in the various
apartments of the building. Miss Anna
Lang kindly contributed at intervals
with finely rendered piano solos. Mad

ing, but took no part in the musical
programme. Among others who large

benefit of the Home, and comfortable
sum was realized.
