grounds has been arranged that should
transform the qlace into a fairyland

flowers.

the cold drinks booth described a par
ticularly attractive decorative scheme
which she has planned. Mrs. j. ID.

something that will be great addition.
TO further attract customers to her
booth Mrs. Farquhar has engaged a
quartet of italian mandolin players
who will also sing. Count Boris de
Londonier will contribute some Rus
sian dances also to make the time pass
merrlly in this booth.
