For this occasion there was a gorgeous array of flowers, the large reception rooms being tastefully decorated with mimosa and pastel pink and deep rose camellias, yvith tradings of lycopodium setting the blooms off to perfection. A new and novel idea was added by small coloured lights hung from the architrave between the two'rooms. A varied programme, arranged for the entertainment of the guests, included the following items.
