very superb affair. 1t cost the hostess $50, r
600, and she entertained 5000 guests The
whole thing was done in a magnificent
fashion. The finest wines and the choicest
fruits and viands were supplied. The beau
tiful grounds were made more beautiful
with thousands of additional plants. and
cut flowers came by special train from the
queens estates at Windsor and Osborne.

laurels for some time secure in the
thought that no one in society can outstrip
this social endeavor of hers in the way Of
a lawn fete.
