A thoroughly carnival spirit prevailed among tho guests, nearly all of whom were in fancy djess. Some of the costumes worn were very beautiful, while in other cases the bizarre or novel effect striven for was splendidly conveyed. Many people, in fact, were almost unrecognisable, and one man who catne as a "Whitecap," closely hooded, had many guesses made as to iiis identity. Dancing took place in the ballroom, to the music supplied bv Miss Macdonald's orchestra. The drawing-rooms were thrown open for sitting-out purposes, their decorations mainly of red flowers being very charming. Tho same decorative scheme prevailed in the dining-room, where supper was served. In an interval, little Joan Bcere, the clever "Wellington child dancer, gave one of her dances, for which she was heartily applauded. The hostess wore a charming "Frivolity" costume, carried out in tones of nattier blue and scarlct. The quaint pantaloons were of blue and gold checked satii, and the lamp-hade tunic was of alternating stripes of blui* and scarlet, while the blue bodice had a largo pierrot ruffle of blue tulle. The headdress was composed of scarlet ostrich feathers, and a blue wand tipjKxl with a large scarlet ostrich feather, was! carried. Mrs A. L.
