| Tables for the luncheon were set in the
| reception hall, the library and the suite
of small parlors. and were decorated with
poinsettia blossoms and foliage. while
stands of silver candelabra held red
candles whose soft light was supple
mented by the glow of the incandescents
that shone through poinsettia shades in
the chandeliers above<
At each table club member presided as
hostess, and when the time arrived for
the serving of dessert Mrs. Irving Ingra
ham. who sat at the head of the Holly
table, accompanied by her nineteen
guests, arose and filed solemnly up the
stairway to the regions of the kitchen.
| They were absent some time, and sounds
| of subdued laughter fioated down to the
waiting women at the tables. Just when
| expectation had reached It's height and
patience was ceasing to be virtue, the
vanguard appeared at the top of the
stairs and line of beautifully gowned
women descended holly crowned and
stately, each bearing In her uplifted hands
a Christmas pudding that was encircled
by little dancing jets of flame in red and
| blue and gold. The ladies who thus
| served their sister club women and were
repaid by a volley of applause were
