It was given at her temporary residence on Park Terrace (Mr and Mrs H. I>. Aeland's house), which, with its spacious rooms, lends itself particularly j well to entertaining on a large scale. Spring flowers were used in qiiantities in the decorations, combined with I amber-coloured artificial chrysanthemums, supper being served in a big marquee. Here the decorations were carried out mainly in daffodils. Music for the dancing was supplied 'by Miss B.
