The party was in the nature of
japanese affair and in every detail

verandas were draped with quantities
of bunting in the Japanese colors-
red and yellow-and intermingled
with the bunting were sprays of

each game three hands were played
before the prOgressiOns were made.

costumes, one wearing pink and one
