hn Sunday morning as wo looked
t of the window and saw that tho
iy clouds obscured the rising Bun,
nestled back for another nap,
d oh, what a beautiful dreara we
d. Greon fioldB and ever-bloom
r flowers passed before us In
oorainlc review. In fancy we
ird the drowsy -tingle of the cow
|1b as they grazed amid the ver
re of the meadow, and the hum
tho been as they haunted the
i-ple wisteria or Hipped the honey
>m the pure white Illy, and the'
ilow-center of the wild rose. We
ird the twitter of the sparrows
they went to and fro, happy in
b Work of nestrbuUding, and the
?t song of the mocking bird ech
d and re-echoed through the great
een woods. From beneath our
tt we pushed aside the red broom
raw, that had fallen from the
er-reaching pines, and thexe we
ond a carpet of. exceeding beau
; Pink and white arbutus, blue,
lite, and purple violets, had been
)?en by nature's hand into an ex
isite pattern of blended harmony.
io wild roses were blooming In
ofusiou, and tho fragrant yellow
ssamine was climbing over tree
ps and arbors. Tho soft winds
om tho South seemed to whisper
Iprlng-tinu* in Carolina," and, aB
many a by-gone spring time the
r was laden with tho perfume of
e honeysuckle, the lmwthorne.and
e lilac. Wo walked beside a
lading stream, where the clear
water ahbwed uuibur hue*, flecked
with gllateuing f da in bubbiea, ait |t
eddied and uang hot ween the em
erald banka, while the pond llllea
bung uarclaaua like over tbelr own
beautl-lmagea. Hut from lb!* ar
cadian dream, there wan a rude
awakening; aa wo looked again out
of the- window, jtbe elouda had drlf
ted apart, (be aon waa abiuing bril
liantly, aud we knew tbatr airing
waa far away, for the Ground llog

Tho beautiful and artistic homo j
of Mrs. F. M. Zcmp was the scene
! of u small, but charming function
liiHt Tuesday morning at which Mrs.

i lovoly roomH wore made lovelier
; still with ferns and violets. There
; were violets everywhere, their mod
est heauty could bo aeon and their
dainty fragrance detected In every
nook and corner. Great bowls of
the purple be&utteg, with . only
j their own dark foliago and tho Ver
dure of the ferns -to serve as a
contrasting color. At 1:30 the
guests were Invited Into the dining
room, Where an elaborate course
luncheon was served. The table
was beautifully laid for the occa
sion. Violets and feathery ferns
formed a mound in tho center, and
violets sprinkled the handsome cluny
mats on tlio polished table. The
Colors, violet and greon were clev
erly coTftlnued ' through the several

A particularly beautiful afternoon
tea was given last Saturday ktf Mrs.
A. C. Ancrum In honor of Mrs. Ag
new, of Erie, Pa., and Mrs. C. F.
Mahler, of St. Paul, Minn. The hon
orees are 'not strangers among .us,
Mrs. Mahler having spent several
seasons here, where she is always
cordially received, and Mrs. Agnew
made many friends while basking
in the sunlight of our ?< delightful
climate last winter. Mrs. Ancrum's
attractive parlor was cosy and lnylt
htg7""*md tho afternoon was passed
In pleasant chat,, the soft, southern
twilight alone calling a halt in the
bright convorsatlon. In the decora
tions a color scheme of purple, gold
white and green was successfully,
carried out. Masses of purple vio
lets were used everywhere,, and
shed their dainty perfume through
out the rooms. White hyanclths
hung their fragrant bells, and the
daffodils contributed a wealth of
gpld -to brighten the scene, while
foliage and ferns gave an effective
touch of green that completed the
harmony of , oolor, the beautiful
Lenten colors, suggesting the near
ness of that season. But the most
noticeable of the decorations was a
beautiful flag lily in a tall crystal
vase. These seldom bloom before
April, but this was plucked fresh
from the garden of the hostess,
and its beauty undiminished by the,
wear of centuries, still rivaled the
glory of Solomon. , The dainty re^
frfeshtaents* w;ere served by Mrs,
Ancrum'B daughter, Mrs. Juo. D.
Miller, of St. Paul, who has many
friends and admirem in this, her
native town, and is always warmly
received in Camden society. Those
