scented with a dutch cap which was
worn during the festivities. the
guest of honor received very beautl-
full lace one, also dog collar OF BEADS,
brought from Holland by the hostess.

Dutch water colors being presented to
the winners, after which the ladies'
were invited to the dining room, where
the tables were handsomely laid with
wooden shoes as center pieces, hlled
with tiny yellow chrysanthemums,
candles with yellow tulip shades. delft
place cards and all the beautiful &C
cessories of the splendid home. the

on tho hack Of pretty Holland scenes
that will be framed and kept as souv-
enirs of the party. The dinner in six

was to write to the dear friends in
their far away home. 1t was superb
party, but the effort at cheerfulness
and jollity was much strained because
of the sincere regret all felt at the
parting with Mrs. Mcmahon, who has
surrounded herself with loving friends
by being a good friend herself. MANY
loving tributes were paid her as the
loving cup was passed just before
leaving the table. Mrs. Voss received
