These were made to give, an artistic triage, but not enough tor shut out a view of the lakelet Swim­ming la it was a Hull-grown swan, with proudly arching neck and defiant eye, king of the pent-up waters.

From the edge of the lake) to t h s outer cfcTcumteEence of the large oval' Imbedded in moss and lookSng as If they had always grown there, were potted plants in blossom, decreasing in height as they approached the edge. Heavy with fragrance stood hyacinths and trailed nose sprays, while the outer oiTClo consisted entirely of vio­lets. Taese ended in half circles, leav­ing just room for the plates of the guests. Thma the entire space was covered with a lake and encompassing moss and bloseoms.

From the edge «a* the lake rose slen­der vine and rose-qolored columns, ter­minating perhaps a dozen feet above on a kind of Turkish kiosk of a Ughti and graceful shape. Here were caged canaries, singing enough to split their little throats. The tout-eneemble ex­ceeded description, or even imagina­tion. '

How aauch conversation could be en-Joyed about that Immense banquet table, with the frightened swan in front, the staging bards above and the overpowering, fragrance of flowers about all, can be readily estimated. Al­together^ it killed ..the royal.
