The Embassy, one of the most

ceived, assisted by members Of the

furnishings, as the other rooms had
been divested of their furniture in
order to make room for the large
company of invited guests.

at one end of the dining room, was
centered with tall bouquet of
bright-colored spring flowers. Long
