she carried a lovely arm bouquet of
pink roses, white and pink being the
color motif of this attractive party.

vases, in groups and clusters, in be-
vies and companies, the effect being
very bewitching in all the rooms, and
especially in the dining room. The
round table was covered with a hand
some Cluney cloth, and as the table
centerpiece there was a tall vase of
exquisite long-stemmed pink roses,
