HATLESS HOSTESS.
A LONG BUFFET. - Following the procedure which the Queen always adopts at her afternoon parties, Lady Londonderry is one of the hostesses who prefers to? receive guests in her own home without a hat. She will also wear gloves when she extends that gracious smile of welcome at the top of the double-branched staircase leading to the suite of reception rooms on the first floor.
Spring flowers, daffodils and mimosa, will stand in heavy jars—for safety—on the convenient side-table in gilt which surround the gallery, and at the far end a special staircase will afford the necessary exit. By tin's means it is easy to solve the problem of congestion by moving only in one forward direction. Tea, coffee, orangeade, lemonade, and delicious home-made savouries and cakes will load the long buffet, which will border the downstairs red dining-room.
