! throughout the entire three hours of the en-
tertainment, but from 5 until o'clock the
| approaches to the house were fairly blockaded.
! The front steps looked during that entire
! time solid mass of humanity as those strug-
Cling to finally gain admittance within doors
were met by an equally large number of
guests who, having already spent some time
within the hospitable doors, were desirOus of
leaving in order to give place to others.
Many of those invited, on finding the state
( OF afalrs existing when they drove up to the
, house, gave over any further effort to make
their way through the crowd, and sending up
cards by such deputies as were available, re-
/ turned home without having had even a
! glimpse at the hostess and her young
daughter, in whose honor the friends Of her
parents had responded in such iattering
numbers to the invitations. Once within
doors one felt repaid for tie effort in gaining
admittance, for the entertainment was in
every sense acharming one The parlor was
decorated with white roses and chrysanthe-
NUNS palms and smilax
