garIanded the entire room and touch
of glowing color was given by vase OF

near by. Orchid mauve chrysanthemums
with jungle of rare ferns formed
floral contrast in the decoration of the
adjoining drawing room. while the
library was afiame with royal Sunshine
chrysanthemums and the breakfast table
biushed with pink blooms combined with
delicate ferns. The music throughout the
