Miss Forepaugh and Lieut.. Brown was
pate financiere. Roast turkey with glib
let sauce and Drowned potatoes was from
the hands of Mrs. SeiIneS and Mi. Hutch
inSon. The cranberry sauce of Mrs.

work of art. The tomatoes and lettuce
mayOnnaiSe by Mrs. Barnum and Am
brose Tighe was the realization of the
chefs ideal. Mrs. Barnum and Mrs.
Selmes provided the brown Betty, Miss
Hammond and l.. S. Bigelow toasted the
crackers and cheese. The cOtfee-such
coffee as is seldom seen outside Ken
