ems which were suspended from cords
which were brough together from the
upper corners of the room, meeting in
the center of the room where a large
Japanese Mukella was SUSPENDED. Most
all the ladies were in full Japanese
costumes which added much to the
beauty of the scene. Mrs John Frier-
son and Miss Mary Dale Craige served
tea to all after they were seated on the
floor in Japanese fashion. The room in
which the tea was served was decorated
in the Japanese National colors and
Japanese flowers. At the conclusion of
an interesting game of fan tan in which
anumbe of the ladies participated, a
young lady dressed in the American
colors, appeared, and invited the ladies
from Japan. to come over to America
for lunch. In the spacious room across
the hallway, into which the Japanese
ladies were ushered the American COL
ors and flags formed the very pretty
decorations. From table draped in
American colors dainty salad course
was served. Among the out of
