Mr.. and Mrs. l.. c. Ables on Sunday
entertained her family at a very hand
some Christmas dinner when covers
were arranged for twelve.
The round table where dinner was
served was suggestive of yuletide, a
miniature Christmas tree draped with
silver floss, bells and other Christmasy
things and scintillating with a myriad
of tiny candles holding the place OF
honor as conterpiece.
Round the base of the tree were
banked clusters of scarlet holly ber-
ries and foliage and the name cards
depicted the same design in vivid
red and green.
DR.. and Mrs. McLennan entertained
at a Christmas eve dinner on Satur
day evening, at their home on King
and Richards streets.
The round table was suggestive OF
Yuletide, cascades of scarlet apples
and mandarin oranges falling from the
chandelier by yellow and scarlet satin
ribbons.
Falling in between were showers OF
red cranberries, invisibly strung which
created a dainty effect.
The chandelier globes in bank Of
mousefoot and MALE were fashioned
as large red roses, and festoons OF
fragrant MALE fell to the table on all
sides.
A unique idea was carried out in
the centerpiece, a south sea island
kava bowl, with improvised arched
q
and tied with huge bow of red satin
and illusion. The bowl was filled and
banked with mousefoot whence golden
mandarins peeped.
The place cards were humorous
newspaper clippings suggestive of each
guest and tied with bow of RED
satin. COverP were arranged for
twelve.
