 1 Delightful Event Held at ths Home of Mrs. Robert w. Perkins.
 A most delightful and successful
 event was the lawn fete planned by the Art Students association and held | at the home of Hrs. Robert W. Perkins 1 Thursday afternoon for the purpose of raising money toward the support of French war orphans. The fates were | suspicious, even the weather being 1 clear and fine in most unprecedented fashion. The setting was unusually lovely with it's background of trees l and old fashioned garden, it's sweep 1 of lawn and it's vine- clad arbors where l rustic tables were placed for the serv- | ing of ice cream and cake during the afternoon. It was gay with color and | music. French and American flags
 were draped where possible, Blashf1eld 1 posters adorned convenient posts, and U the tables about the edge of the lawn I were decorated with the allied red, 1 white and blue. The light dresses and | sense. of summer 1eisureliness lent an added note of gaiety to the scene and 1 with the shifting lights and shadows l made it seem all very remote from the hustle of our busy everyday life. | A part of the Academy orchestra,
 under the direction of Frederick Gran
 ston, furnished music throughout the 1 afternoon and a miscellaneous enter tainmant was given in addition. l Marion Gailaudet and Marion Briggs | in quaint Alsatian costumes passed
 about, their large be -pocketed aprons overfowing with grabs, and Eben Learned, Jr., in equally quaint and old | world attire, assisted them in making l change.
 | Candy, ice cream, cake and punch | were on sale. Three very beautiful | water scolors by Miss Caroline Me Curdy. The Gathering Storm, Bermuda and Fishermen's Huts, were on exhi- bition.
