standard so high that even these past
mistresses of the art of program MAX
ing will find it difficult to reach be-
yond.
Round table down the center of the
room, with long ones reaching to the
sides, formed a delightful arrangement
for accommodating over 300 guests,
and the dainty service with flowers IN
the club colors yellow and white,
formed a happy addition TO the maze
of pastel hues in the gowns worn by
the women.
The picture was an animated one,
and the strains of favorite selections,
played by a string quartet, furnished a
background for the music of women
voices that discussed in turn the en-
tire gamut of topics that appeal to
club women. And incidentally was
discussed the daintiest viands possible
to a menu.
Places were found by means of
mounted postal cards in sepia showing
either a front view of the clubhouse or
the patio On the front of the second
card was list of the toasts and on the
back of this the words of Aud Lang

composite of all the club members and
bears the imprint of all the club in
dividualities. She then introduced Mrs.
