last evening by Mr.. and Mrs. James w.

being always of the choicest and most
novel character. This one proved no
exception. 1t was literally a rose din

lavishly in the decorations. The din
ing table which, at the beginning OF
the dinner was laid entirely in cut
glass was sprinkled with rose petals
and fronds of delicate ferns. Cut glass
rose bowls resting on mats of foliage
were placed on either end of the table,
and in the center each holding the
same queenly roses. Exquisite bisque
roses held the menu cards, while the
punch and other delicacies were served

roses. The favors were beautiful little
hand painted envelopes sealed and tied
with pink bebe ribbon, each containing
a quotation or verse appropriate TO the
person or occasion, some being original
and causing much merriment The
light falling from colored shades and
many hidden jets heightened the glow
of decorative tints throughout the
room, blending in delightful harmony
with the handsome gowns of the fair
ones present and forming a beautiful
scene. The menu was elaborate. The
