bot Lodge and Mrs. ]. B. Henderson, re-
ceived upstairs in the main gallery. which

beauty Of the floral decorations in each
room. Besides the absorbing interest Of
the social intercourse In a company OF
travellers and Intellectual people, the guests
were treated to series of surprises in
going through the rooms of the building.
Each had separate and unique character.
One was thoroughly Japanesque, and an
other, where punch was served, was Gu
riously enough filled with the war weapons
Of North American Indians. Still another
was oriental and electric lights set of its
rich colors with splendid effect A XVI
century idea was suggested by another.
where a number Of fine tapestries were dis
played, but perhaps the triumph of all was
the smoking room, where pipes of all ma
lions and eras made a collection Of amaz-
ing interest to the ladies. as Well as their
escorts.
