than not the host takes several of the
men into the cup room if they de-
cline tea in favor of something more
potent, in the form of champagne or
whiskey and soda.
The hour of departure is usually
6 D. M. or little before. as very few
wait for the distribution of prizes
which consist of money. The local
NJ. p, if present, is often asked to
give them to the prize winners, or
one of the county ladies' undertakes
to do this. or, failing others the host
oSs presents the prizes. The leave
taking is as at a garden party-the
host and hostess shake hands with
all either on the lawn or in the hail.
and the host accompanies many of
the ladies to their carriages, until he
wcaries of his task. The carriages
are somewhat of a difficulty to a
host, as he is expected to put up the
horses in his stable and find refresh
mCnts for the cOachman and foot
man. and only in large establishments
can this be done effectively. When
rector or vicar Of the parish is the
host, as he often is the owners send
their carriages, to the village inn,
knowing he has no accommodation to
offer for this purpose.
The villagers and school children
have what is termed "a high old
time" at these flower show fctes.
They arrive about o'clock. They
ride on the Steam horses, they shoot
