Gossip, gossip! for the Lords sake,
give me gossip! can get the rest out
of books" Stevenson must have been
a social editor sometime in his ca
reer. Never else could he have spoken
so feelingly.
The only important event of the week
was the whist afternoon given by Mrs.
Anna Campbell and her sister, Miss
Alice Dray. To be sure, this in itself
was enough to compensate for lack of
others, for it turned out to be-What
it coud not help but be with such
charming hostesses-a delightful sue
cess The reception rooms were very
deliberately and most effectively dec
grated, the work of the artistic hand
and eye being quite evident in all the
floral groupings. Masses of pink roses,
lovely for this season of the year, were
used with many tinted foliage and that
queen of the Orient, the crysanthemum,
in all its wealth of beauty. So much
for the frame. The living picture with
in composed of so many pretty girls
with bright, animated faces, and clad
in lovely gowns, vying with each other
and with the flowers in the making up
of a perfect whole, was every bit worthy
of its frame.
