The most beautiful tea of the sea-
, son was that at which Mrs. M. Ed
mund Grossman entertained on Mon
, day afternoon, between the hours Of
four and six, at her home on KewalO
!, street, in honor of Mrs. Nelson Baker
3 Lansing.
J., The house was beautifully decor
d ated in daisies and pink roses, a very
fetching combination.
S Huge brass jardinieres of white
a daisies were everywhere in evidence
). in the reception room, flanked be.
S tween by overgrown pots of Australian
maidenhair, which fell over the teak
e wood pedestals in graceful profusion
s Hanging baskets, caught with great
t soft bows of golden illusion, were
suspended effectively from the cell
Y ing, and delicate vines were draped
n over the arch.
!. Mrs. Grossman and her honored
+ guest, in black satin and white lace
;, over peach blow pink silk, respect
[. lively, stood in a bower of daisies and
;, ferns and graciously received the
[. large number of ladies who called
S during the afternoon, and who, after
). their compliments we're offered
!, passed through into the handsome
t dining salon, where Miss Muriel How
5 att and Miss Jessie Kennedy pre-
). sided al an deliberately appointed tea
5, table, graciously pouring for the
y guests.
= This table was covered by a hand
some hand-wrought lace cloth, which
fell over the sides and through whose
meshes a delicate green tint was Wis
ible.
On the center stood a large Indian
basket brimful of American Beauty
roses and long web-like tendrils OF
asparagus plumosis which trailed
over the cloth. The handle was lost
in a mist of old rose illusion, and rock
crystal compotes were scattered
about, filled with sailed almonds, bon
bons, chocolates and other various
sweetmeats.
Salads, sandwiches, ices and cakes
in great variety we're passed by wait
ers, and in the garden Miss Wilhel-
nina Tenney served fruit punch.
Music was heard family and allur-
ingly during the reception by Kaais

screen of palms on the lawn, and

sponded to their invitations.
