little Japanese maid, opened the
door, Mesdames Robertson, Arm
strong and Hood receiving the
guests in the large reception hall,
with bright lanterns and parasol
decorations, intermixed with
palms and chrysanthemums. All
was arranged to represent a
Japanese street.
Miss Leila Dickson, gowned in
a hand-embroidered kimona, in
vited the guests into the library
where under a beautiful pergola,
covered with trailing vines and
chrysanthemums, Misses Eleanor
Blair and Linda Klncannon pour
ed tea, assisted by Mesdames
Gentry, Booker and Archer, all
wearing beautiful kimonas, har-
monizing with the numerous
vases of golden chrysanthemums.
Mrs. J. r. Jones was most eff
fective as she sat on a Japanese
mat while she kept the incense
pot burning.
From the library the guests
entered the parlor. which was a
bower of white chrysanthemums.
A short program, in keeping
with the surroundings, was very
pleasing and entertaining.

in a red kimona with red chrys-
anthemums in her hair, sitting
Japanese fashion. fitted perfectly

program the guests entered the
dining room, which was the ad-
miratlon of all present, as the
artistic skill of Mrs. Armstrong
had ingeniously converted the
room into a miniature Japan.
Pink chrysanthemums and cherry
blossoms were seen everywhere.
A beautiful arched booth, cover
ed with lockwood and cherry
blossoms, was filled with van
tines, candies and confections
direct from Japan. Exquisite
silks and embroideries we're also
displayed.
