gray. A Greek lamp which is an em-

Before seating themselves at the table
the ladies sang Gloria Patri." This
was certainly a very touching and eff

delicate menu was served.
After the plates were removed the
program proper was commenced by
singing "a Song of Today" the ami

eouvenir-painted in for-get-me-nots-
quotation from nature, which was the
topic of the day. Directly Following
this Mrs. r. N. Piatt, who was the toast
mistress, said a few well chosen and
very interesting things TO the gathered
company and introduced Mrs. R P.

art to nature.
