the dining ROOM An old-f hioned blue
china dinner set was used The menu
was in keeping with the occasion.
The first course was turtle soup and
accessories. During the course Mrs.
Lowry told a colonial story of the "tur-
tie frolics.' which were held at New
port In 1852. She gave also a charming.
account of the dances they had in those
days. Their punch of those days was
made of "arrack, lime juice (souring),
and barbadoes rum" The lords and
ladies Of that age often during the tur-
tie frolics, danced until nearly daylight
and after accompanying their ladies
home. serenaded each one in turn. This
made the frolics last almost all night
and all day.
During the fish course served, Mrs.
w j. Miner told of the samplers
which all were taught to embroider in
colonial times
Upstairs in the coffee room, the beau-
tiful silver coffee service used was
one which was made to order in 1920
for the father-in-law of Mrs. Lea. A
magnificent old Sheffield tray was used.
In this room were old copper candle-
sticks with snuffers, and a couch cover
hand woven in blue and white, this be-
longing to Mrs. j. ID. MacRae. Miss
Babbitt poured the coffee, looking a
beautiful picture of a colonial dame in
her rich costume of old brocade, with
lace fichu and lace cap.
