setting for the meeting and it
was particularly lovely with
flowers.
In the living room late azaleas
in artistic arrangement were used
on the piano. while calendulas
were colorful in a low bowl on
the coffee table. Wall vases held
honeysuckle in the arch of the
doorway leading to the dining
room where exceptionally beauti-
full roses from the H. II. Cole
home graced the buffet.
The dining table richly draped
in lace, was centered with a
punch bowl wreathed around its
base with Chinese yew and aga
leas. The handsome ensemble was
completed by tall white tapers
in crystal holders.

Q-What kings picture is
used for the king OF hearts in
in the modern deck of cards and
why? Was he a great lover or
what?
A-This Is much disputed
question. Some people say the
picture is that of Charlemagne.
In the original French cards the
kings were DaviG, Alexander,
Caesar and Charlemagne repre-
senting monarchs of the Jews,
Greeks, Romans and French.
The element Of love did not
enter into the selection Of Char
lemagne. Other experts say
when the English took over the
manufacture OF cards they used
the face Of King Henry the
Eighth for all the king cards.
