the spacious house, there were very few
regrets received by General and Mrs.
Shelley. Besides cut flowers, palms and
ferns. which were used with artistic effect
in all parts of the handsome residence,
there was a profusion of yellow and white
bunting hung in the parlors, halls and IL
brary. The use of yellow and white, the
national colors of Holland, was in compl-
ment to the Misses Quimby, whose father
has been ambassador to the Hague. The
cotillion, lead by Mr.. George D. Allison and
Miss Quimby, was danced in the two par
lors. Elaborate refreshments were served
at small tables up stairs, and large punch
bowl, always full, stood in the hall.
Mrs Shelley received her guests in an ele-
CANT black satin toilette, relieved with
white lace garniture. Miss Shelley, who
is always as radiant and fascinating as a
CLEAN of sunshine, in "a rare day in june
wore lovely white satin gown. Miss ARM
strong's toilette was of light blue silk;
Miss Quimby was gowned in yellow satin,
and Miss Florence Quimby in rose and
white.
Beautiful favors were distributed during
the cotillion. An excellent orchestra fur
nished an attractive musical programme.
