A Charming Easter TaEIy'l
Easter Monday of 1911 will be
remembered in the history of Cald-
we'll as being an especially happy
dav. by those who were entertained
by Miss Finney, Miss Franklin and
Mrs. Ward Stone On egg-rolling day,
April seventeenth.
The guests were heartily wei
coined in Miss Finney's beautiful
new home at the corner OF 18TH
and Everett streets. The art-room'
above the living room was given
over to the pleasure of the ladies'
and a fine collection of pictures was
there displayed, representing the
work of the worlds most famous
artists. The pictures were lying
loose on a large table, so that all
might have access to them.
Miss Finney's home is an ideal
one, a comfort to herself and a
delight to her friends. A glowing
fire burned in the large open fire
place in the living room, adding It's
share to the hospitality of the host
esses. The party being an informal
one, the guests felt free to admire
the beautiful pictures, which adorn
the wall; and the dainty and ar
tistic vases, and pieces of sculp-
ture, china and pottery here and
there on the picture and plate rails,
treasures gathered both from the
Old World and the New; some, the
work of the masters own hands;
others, fine copies of their creations.
The living room and dining room
were daintily decorated in Easter
colors and the windows of the din
ing room were filled with blossom
ing house plants.
The dining table, from which the
supper was served, was exquisitely
decorated and an attraction in it.
self. Tiny chickens and rabbits
were hid among the ferns and laces
on the dining table, while miniature
ROSTERS stood sentinel ike, on
streamers of yellow satin ribbon. In
plateau mirrors one caught the re
Election of a brood Of fluffy chicks
that gave the appearance Of having
been Matched from humming birds
eggs, especially for the occasion.
The serving tables were uniquely
decorated with egg she'll nests o.
moss on which lay candy Easter
eggs. These clever little favor'
were the work of Miss Franklin''
nimble fingers. The ladies GROUPED
themselves at will at the small
tables, and engaged in an interest
ing contest. Two tables were rival
in such accomplishments as drawing
house-plans, making rhymes, PLATING
ting gardens, sugestin Easter menus
and perfecting precepts of parent
hood. The prizes awarded the win
ming tables were suggestive of tn
work done; pictures for first prize
and chicken and rabbits for secon,
prizes.
