Mrs. Carlisle has some rare pieces
of old furniture and the antique ta-

ment of beauty and delight while the
air was as sweet as the scent OF
damask rose. The dining room was
also lovely, the table being centered
with a low silver bowl of pink snap
dragons, blue delphinium and sweet
meas with delicate silver vases filled
with daisies and sweet peas, made
charming arrangement.
Mrs. Benjamin Burton presided at
the table and poured tea. She was
becomingly attired in a tioWered
chiffon gown. A simmer of golden
sunlight flooded the sun parlor
which had such an inviting air that
it induced rest and repose. Beautiful
old stone Jars with quaint blue dec
orations filled with the same frag-
rant roses were effectively disposed
about this room that was so comfy
with its gay cretonnes and softly
cushioned easy chairs. In the rece1V-
ing marty were Mrs. Carlisle and
