as royal as possible in a gay court
costume with an ermine mantle.
At the further end OF the hall the
Queen, Miss Maude Gillette, presided
at bread and honey table, the re-
freshments being modified into cakes
and candy. Miss Gillette looked
charming in the royal costume and
crown, and her table was not allowed
a vacant seat during the entire after

canvas booth invited the believers
in palmistry and fortune wheels to
enter, the symbols of chance and
witchcraft being emblazoned on the
canvas. Mrs. Mary Mott-Smith Bird
presided in pretty costume. Beside
this tent pretty booth, wherein were
all kinds of articles in the pattern OF
the heart for sale, was presided over
by the Queen of Hearts, charmingly
perSonified by Miss Irmgard Schaefer.

mon, Jr, and William Love-, and the
pretty figures of the first set were
gracefully gone through with by the
midgets in costume in one OF the COM

room witnessed the minuet, which
was followed by fetching cake

the visitors, finally disappearing in
