meeting with Mrs. William Hal

days by way Of charming varie

as in all the details of the after
noon, a motif of crimson and
green was beautifully observed,
carnations and countless red
candles, crimson shaded, making
the brilliant tones that contrast
ed ia effective designs with the
vines Of bamboo gracefully traced
along walls Of parlOr and dining
room. In the score cards were
also prettily blended the favored
colors, and the records Of games,
kept by Masters Leonard and
Haiden Brooks, divided honors
between Mrs. Weaver and Mrs.
Searcy, the latter finally gaining
the prize, a unique Oriental
lace pin. 4 delightful meat
