AT THE TURKISH EMBASSY.
THE BUFFET.
I should like to have been able to take two nice, normally greedy children with me to tho party which the Turkish Ambassador and Mine. Ferid Bey gave at the Embassy in Portland Place, for I have never seen such an array of sweet things, says an English writer. Tho place of honour on the buffet was held by a curious sweetmeat with an imposing liamo and which consisted of many thin layers of rich pastry soaked in honey.
Little cabaret tables had been arranged round the ballroom,, and on these were bowls of crystallised fruits, chocolates, sweets and almonds, so that one was obliged to keep nibbling at them during the evening. Mmo. Ferid Bey wore a very Parisianlooking dress of white satin with two trains, and her daughter, who is charming and vivacious, wore blue tulle and taffeta.
