.SKVlrSky was gOWned IN Slmp
The embassy-by far one of
the handsomeSt of the foreign
houseS"-fairly buzzed with con-
versation, the elaborate crystal
chandeliers reflected the gleam
Of the many side lamps and wink
ing tapers arranged here and
there. In the dining room there
was a long table decorated with
q trio of centerpieceS Of gay
yellow daffodils and blue iris-a
real sign that spring is not so
terribly far off. Guests sur
rounded the buffet and knowing
it utterly impossible to have a
bit Of everything, so very much
was there, had a sorry time try
ing to decide just which delica.
cies they would partake Of. There
were great platters of caviar
which, naturally, was "hit number
one of the afternoon; then there
were numerous tempting jelly
cakes ornamented with sprays Of
sugar flowers; wee sandwiches,
candies, nuts, to say naught OF
the raspberry ice with it's star
shaped meringues and spicy
sauce, the vanilla cream and its
chocolate and nut accessories"
the steaming Russian coffee and
tea.
