CHARACTERISTIC MENU.
Quite little attention and thought had been
given to the menu and table decorations. The
refreshments were served at small tables, each
decorated with autumn leaves and flowers as
the centre piece. Japanese napkins were used
as such also to serve as plate doilies. These
were decorated with characteristic scenes.
The name cards were attached to. miniature
sunshades, which were stuck in tiny, dull green
pots that held the dearest dwarf plants The
latter were the favors.
There were few national dishes, which space
forbids to thoroughly describe in detatil others
included American dishes garnishedn with fans
and sunshades in varying shape. i
For example, the sweet bread :crequettes were
pierced with wee fans having tassels on at the
sides, and the >broiled mushrooms were very fes-
tive looking underline shadow of little sunshades,
thrust through the centre. ~
The ices, orange, cherry and pistaehio cream
were oddly nodded, and on top Of each reposed
a tiny japanese figure Of china. Macaroons and
other fancy cakes enlivened with colored frost
ings candied cherries and mints were rivals to

big Japanese umbrella, to which are attached
lanterns, sufficient In. number to give plenty of
