Mrs. Cleveland was the guest of honor to-
day at handsome luncheon, of which Miss
Morton, sister of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, was the hostess. Tie table, spread in
the large dining room at the Portland, was
most elaborately decorated The room it
self was appropriately set with palms and
foliage plants which had the effect of
bringing out the lighter tints of the table
in greater beauty. The mantels at either
end of the room were massed with maiden
hair ferns and the mirrors framed in as
paragus vines and smilax. The great stretch
of linen was broken by three oval plats of
maiden-hair fern, the center one twice as
large as the cthers-sprayed with yellow
rrses. This yellow and green effect was
carried out in all the details of the dainty
feast
