:' A charming party was given yesterday afternoon by. Madame Nihotte, when her artistic rooms were well filled with guests. Her new.pictures, which she brought back on her return with M. Nihotte from Holland, were much enjoyed by her guests, and her Slower scheme "was - particularly good,; a bowl of well-developed anemones, crimson, mauve, and cream, intriguing all, as they were so early in the season. Violets and long-stemmed-chry-santhemums added to the effect in the drawing-room.

The dining-room was particularly at-, tractive the . table . having a deeply embroidered white cloth over palest green silk. In the centre was a large cut crystal bowl arranged with pinktoned carnations and long fronds of maidenhair fern, and around it were dainty little glass baskets of a delicate tone of green with sprays of 'daphne and'autumn leaves. Much admired also were some, chased golden fruit stands, used for'cakes, with gold-tinted lace mats, the china used being of creamy white wi.th a gold edge, altogether a most harmonious scheme of decoration. .
