the arts. Her beautiful residence is
well adapted for entertaining In such
a brilliant and unique manner. as IL il
full of rare works of art from abroad,
and two large floors can be turned
into a wonderland of beauty and bril-
lance. The spirit OF the carnival will
run through both the day program
and evening ball. The guests in the
evening will, as last year. adopt the
dress of some famous character Of
historical legend or book fiction.
The members OF the league are
noted for their work, not only nation
