Personal Notes

If anything prettier could be arranged
than the scene Saturday afternoon at the
residence of Commander and Mrs. Glover,
it has not yet entered into the mind OF

made more charming. The costumese We're

radiant little creatures in their own share
of the beautiful pageant was complete.
