Mrs. F. C. Let's and Miss Let's were
the hostesses Thursday afternoon at
the largest party of the week, the func.
ton at cnce taking rank also as n OF
the most enjoyable of the season. Yel-
low and brown were the novel tints
selected for the decorative effects and
flowers in those shades lent themselves
admirably to effective combinations,
naughty sunhowers and humble pan
ises, spicy nasturtiums and glorious
golden glow all rejecting the radiance
of sunlight in the various rooms, while
pretty blossoms were also lavishly
used at luncheon time, bouquets oc-
cupying the center Of the tables and
flowers appearing in novel ways dur
ing the courses. Euchre and finch
amused the guests, the tally cards be-
ing exquisite Christy heads, pretty
enough to have been portraits of Miss
Let's herself. The hostesses were as
sisted by Mrs. Z. w. Zeibert, Mrs. y.
H. Davis, Mrs. Grace Davis-Muckley,
Mrs. Grove Meyer and Mrs. Shirley
Wilson. The delicious luncheon was
served in courses and the coffee ap-
peared in the cunningest of individual
brown pots, and these the ladies trl-
umphantly bore away as souvenirs,
each brownie being decorated with a
bright yellow pansy and thus complet-
ing the color scheme of the afternoon.

swiftly in cards and conversation. A
savory Dutch lunch was served under
