bower OF loveliness. The walls and
ceiling were banked with greens,
while numerous great baskets filled
with dainty paper flowers in pink and

hung at intervals from overhead. From
these baskets were draped long, flow.

Refreshments were served in the
quaintest way Imaginable. One Of

little flower pots out of which sweet,
peas and spapsies were growing. On

found that the sweetpeas and pansies
were growing out OF delicious ice,
