A NOTABLE HOUSE WARMING. 



Messrs. Doubleday, Page & Co. gave 

 a Harvest Home and House Warming 

 at their spacious headquarters in New 

 York City on Tuesday afternoon and 

 evening, November 20. A vast con- 

 course of friends specially invited 

 thronged the building, and the enter- 

 tainment was on a most lavish scale — 

 music and refreshments, flowers, poul- 

 try, dogs, moving pictures and exhibi- 

 tions of all the processes employed in 

 the making of Country Life and other 

 publications of this firm being on the 

 program. 



The second floor, where the maga- 

 zine, photographic and kennel exhibits 

 were placed, were handsomely deco- 

 rated by the Rosary Company, and 

 among the other exhibits on this floor 

 were carnations from C. W. Ward, F. 

 R. Pierson Co., and A. J. Guttman: 

 ferns, etc., from .Tohn Scott, and model 

 plan of an estate by Miss H. C. Bryant. 

 On the third floor was an exhibit of 

 rare interest by the U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture under the supervision 

 of Mr. F. E. Bonsteel. The fourth 

 floor was the scene of demonstrations 

 of half-tone processes, art and majj 

 order departments, and refreshment; 

 on the fifth floor were the binding, and 

 mailing departments, and on the sixth 

 the company room and stereopticon 

 views. Other exhibits worthy of spe- 

 cial mention were chrysanthemums 

 from C. H. Totty, vegetables from J. 

 M. Thorburn Co., chrysanthemum 

 plants from John Crosby Brown, ap- 

 ples from G. T. Powell, etc. 



It was an event happily conceived, 

 well carried out and thoroughly en- 

 joyed by host and guest alike.
