divided their time between dances, pur-

packages of all shapes and sizes. sug-
gestive Of everything one could think Of,
and wrapped in such a way as to make
further examination alluring.

evening was that which came with the
supper hour. Every Wand was strictly
homemade The managers had a special
kitchen all to themselves on the same
floor, and there they constructed the
wondrous dishes which appear In their
full perfection only from the home
kitchen. Bachelors among the guests
who were accustomed to receive their
only nourishment in the quick lunch and
the restaurant ate during the hours
from s to g. The dining-room was dec
GRATED with vines. flags. and ferns.

were placed at the end OF the room
where the dancing was held. Here, too.
was the booth Of shadow pictures and
a hut of straw, in which or with which
