staircase by long rushes, screening them
from view. Against the beautiful panels
Of the hall long, graceful stalks Of pink
hollyhocks and cattails reached from floor

Jar magnificent La France roses dropped
over the black pedestal beneath. Over the
mirror in the reception room rested an
Indian basket, half overturned. from
which long garlands of pink and white
ssters. with maidenhair ferns. fell To the
mantel below, where large brass bowl
filed with the same lovely flowers COM
pleted the artistic arrangement. Sweet
peas of every hue with ferns filled and
eserhowed an Alaskan basket which stood
on an elegantly carved table BY the door,
long stalks of pink and white hollyhocks
held back the Japanese portieres leading

pame delicateiy tinted flowers cast rosy
glow over the lace drapery of the win
dow. Fragrant jasmine. beautiful roses
and gorgeous carnations met the
eye at every turn, while the adjoining
room was wealth of the same lovely
flowers, arranged in baskets, bowls aud
lars of every description. The same tone
OF pink was carried into the decoration of
the library, where a delicious and refresh
ing punch was served. Entering the din
ing room one was met by an entire change
of color Here the richest tones OF yellow
prevailed. At the doorway great stalks of
yellow holiyhocks held back the por-
there's. Daylight was excluded. and mum
berless candles with yellow shades gave to
the room n charming golden effect. jar
on the hearth held yellow hollyhocks and
eAttails, which reached far above the rare
old china ornamenting the rio hly~carved
mantel. on which stood great bowls of
yellow mangoids making a gorgeous bit
Of coloring in the already beautiful room.
