Its base. Place carda with a sprig of
miatletoe tied with. red ribbon were at
each place. The tree was appropriate
ly hung with' red paper bells, which
constituted the souvenirs for the
guests. After tea the company was
entertained with testing their rhyming
abllitels In supplying the fifth line to
a limerick about a "Young lady from
Montana," with astonishing results.
As most of the company had another
