an hour when the sound of music from
the drawing rooms drew the guests back
there and they listened TO that little irish
ballad, 'sKatie's Letter, - sung by Mrs.
John Green, and with all the Dathos and
tenderness of her well trained voice.
Mrs. T. J. Amy graciously accompanied
the singers.
Many of the ladies upon leaving car
ried away generous clusters OF the sweet
spring flowers that had served as adorn-
ment.
The final entertainment of this talented
and enthusiastic club meets the list OF
June, at Mrs. Mason's, where they Will
| present an excellent elocutionist from
Boston.
A decidedly artistic touch was given
Mrs. L. G. Crossman's Kensington tea
Thursday afternoon by the exquisitely
dainty souvenir cards she had prepared.
Each table was furnished with four of the
cards, upon which flower was woven
into ssC'' and then finely hand painted
in water colors. The heliotrope served
as the motif of the letter at one table, the
wild rose another, and so on. Mrs. ii.
j. Lake is the accomplished artist who
did the work. On the reverse side OF the
card the menu was written and
arranged as every
word beginning with G; for instance:
"Connubial chastiser' '-tongue; "Celtic
chippings' '-Irish potatoes; Common
combination bread and butter. Much
pleasure was found in the guessing and
much puZZling of the wits. AT the tables
were pretty clusters of flowers for each
guest.
A bright and pleasant afternoon was
passed, and some stitches put in. the
