night in honor of Thomas Nelson Page
author and philanthropist, recently ap.
pointed American ambassador to Italy
The ambassador delved deep in his.
tory as a compliment to his distin.
guished guest, and the result was arts.
tic and remarkable. The ideas were all
the ambassadors own, and carried ou,
by his own hands. At either end of the
table were circular chains representing
the Annunciata, the highest order of
Italy, while the charming legend OF
Amadeus V, referred to reverently in
Italian history as The Great" was
brought out in the bold letters, F. E.
r. T., which decorated the center of the
table, and were also formed in glistep.
ing green leaves, as were the pieces al
either end Of the board. 1t was Anna
deus v who forced the Turks to raise
the siege of Rome, and in commemora-
tion Of this event, he had the eagles
stricken from his arms and the ini-
tials, F. E. r. T., Fortitudo ejus rhodum
tenuit, introduced instead.
The national colors of Italy, red,
white, and green, were used in the dec
oration, stars and a conventional ar
rangement of red and white flowers
fully carrying out the idea. Not only
did the ambassador design the decor
alton. but he drove to the florists and
bought the flowers, selecting them with
special care as to shape, size and adapt
ability to his purpose, and then carried
them home beside him.
