 table decorations on the occasion of a 

 dinner given last week in honor of an 

 eminent New York gentleman. The 

 centre of the large quadrilateral table 

 was laid out in the form of an Italian 

 garden in miniature, the lawn effect 

 being carried out by the use of a rich

 of cut flowers around the border of the 

 table was in keeping with the formal 

 character of the centre decoration.
