fully decorated with bunting and bril-

lanterns. In the center of the lawn
was a booth draped with bunting, in
which was stationed Meister's full or
ehestra, and the fine selections rem
dered were highly entertaining. Over
two hundred guests were received be-

the grounds presented very pretty
appearance indeed with the flash of col
ors and lights intermingling. At 1880
the host of charming young ladies to
whom fell the pleasant task of serving,
began to make the rounds, and the
neatness and dispatch with which they
handled the large crowd was source
of comment to all. The luncheon was
a very dainty and refreshing one, to
which all did ample justice. At nine
o'clock the delighted guests began to
take reluctant departure, bidding
their hosts and hostesses a kind good
night and extending many words or
sincere thanks and congratulation.
The young ladies in charge of the
serving were as follows: Misses Eva
