found her home beautifully decorated
with flowers and foliage. Quantitiea
Of roses, carnations and hyacinths,

her already choice collection OF
potted plants added their beauty and
fragrance.
Meanwhile the ladies we're not idle
and the flowers grew rapidly under
their skillful fugers upon the pieces
OF linen, etc, necessary adjunct to a
function OF this character, 80 that,
what with the natural flowers and the
rapidly manufactured ones, the house
"bloomed as a rose"
But il was not Mrs. Lanes inten-
ton that it should be all work, for at
proper time the tables we're drawn
ont and delicious refreshments we're
served, when it was quite apparent
the industry was not all laid aside
with the needle work.
And thus sped away a delightful
afternoon freighted only with pleas
ant social memories. Those who
enjoyed it were; Mesdames briggs,
