Tea Aids
Orchestra
BY FRANCES GIvENs

THE WALTER O. BRIGGS
garden in Boston boulevard was
a picture of emerald charm for
the garden tea given there yes
terday afternoon to aid the
maintenance of the Detroit Sym
phony Orchestra.
There are no flowers in these
spacious grounds. Their beauty
lies rather in perfect lawns,
magnificent trees and cleverly
planted shrubs.
But the big house was filled
with blooms in greatest variety,
brought in from Walbri Hall
the Briggs country home in
Bloomfield Hills.
The tea table. placed in the
dining room, held a low silver
bowl filled with creamy lark
spur and talisman rose buds, and
ivory candles burned in branched
silver holders.
