doors entertaining and small tables
dotted the lawn on the terrace be-
low the rear veranda, where the
majority of the guests enjoyed the
view of the city. The legation Is
situated on the hill which rises west
of old Boundary Castle, home OF the

back is in the treetops, so steep is
the hill. Here orange juice and
other beverages were served and
small groups of guests enjoyed the
comfortable chairs and divans for
animated chats. In the dining room,
delectable iced coffee over delicious
coffee ice cream was served with
various delicacies typical OF Den
mark. The center of the table was
filled with a large cluster OF deep
red roses matching the deep red OF
the carnations on the mantel at one
side of the room.

diplomatic list and the social reg

front like a vest with lapels Of the
shirred material to match the very
full three-quarter length sleeves.

straight brim, had a diminutlve
Bird Of pale-green plumage in the
center Of the front. The wings were
outstretched and the tail aloft as
though it had just alighted.
