The President, Harvard

The Van Nuyses occupy
the penthouse on the roof Of
1901 Wyoming Ave-, which
is very spacious and from
which a most beautiful view
of the city can be had.
The hosts received in the
drawing room, which is pam

somewhat the effect Of the
interior of a ship. Some fine
paintings, one of an Autumn
woods which was particu-

walls; and low, comfortable
chairs and lamps and a fire
place at the far end lend
much to the warm, inviting
atmosphere Of this charming
home.
Mrs. Van Nuys received
in a gown of black chiffon,
with the tunic bodice en-
broidered in silver beads,
with a bouquet of orchids
worn high on her shoulder.
Mrs. Minton was in black
velvet, with a bouquet Of

was centered with a bouquet
of pink, yellow and white
spring flowers and tall
lighted t tapers. Cocktails
were served in a small room
to the left Of the entrance,
