BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

MADAME FENG. WANG

ENTERTAINS

A charming afternoon party 'was given at the Hotel St. George yesterday afternoon when Madame Feng Wang, wife of the Chinese Consul, Wellington, entertained a number of friends. A feature of the party was the delightful decoration of the lounge. Poinsettias, with their brilliant scarlet, were used, also high jars of red japonica, with their bi*wn stems giving a characteristic Chinese tone to the arrangement. Deep blue and cream irises were most effective, and on the tea tables were dainty vases of daffodils and other spring flowers. An artistic arrangement of branches of lime, with fruit and flowers, was also noticeable, and the polished table near by had a grouping of green, yellow, and crimson polished fruit. Much admiration was expended on,'the decorative scheme generally. ' f. Madame Feng Wang, Who made a charming hostess, received, wearing a national costume of soft black satin, with a high collar and three-quarter close-fitting sleeves,, embroidered daintily in a wild rose pattern, the green and pink very delicately blended.
