afternoon, when she entertained in honor
of her guest. Miss Edith Adams of Mary

charming. was made doubly 50 with artis-

delicate tracery of bamboo vine formed a
frieze around the rooms. while palms and
Jars of ferns lined the walls. The pretty
colonial mantels were arrang with names
of cocoa palms and ferns, and the CRATES
beneath were filled with Towering shrubs,
lilies and freesas. American Beauty roses
and pink azaleas filled tan vases in the
first room, while lamp and candle shades
were formed of pink roses of varying
shades, massed together with charming eff
feet The second room was suggestive of
spring, with long-stemmed. yellow jonquils
and dalfodils rising from the fresh green
foliage, and the chandeliers yelled with
primrose crepe shades. Particularly pref
ty was the little sitting room opening from
this Against a blue and white back
ground the decorations of palms and red
carnations were most effective, and the
candles and lamps were shaded with Grim
