A Farewell.Luncheon Party. .Before' departing for/ England Mrs. Tuson is giving a series of luncheon parties., Her guests of "yesterday (among them ; Mrs. Newman and 'Mrs.' Tweed) must have enjoyed not only' a very recherche lunch from the hands of a master chef, but revelled in theirbeautiful surroundings. The guests'sat at small tables, dotted abo'nt a simply-fur-nished room, which no doubt was designed to show off the dainty and bril-liantly-appointed tables which shone with clear cut glass and glistening silver. A single vase of varied shades of chrysanthemums just gave the necessary touch of colour, thrown, up by the snowy, damask. Mrs. Tuson is a .charming hostess and hei hospitality will.be much misled.
