Sewing and Informal chatting were in order until 5 o’clock, the luncheon hour, when Mrs. Burdg invited the party into the dining room. As St. Valentine’s Day is so near, the Valentine ideas were carried out in the decorations and luncheon. Little red hearts, each pierced, were strung on red silken ribbons, forming streamers irom the chandelier and sweeping down to the comers of the table. At each of the twelve covers were large red hearts, bearing on one side the message. "Hearts to Greet You,” and on the other, the name of the club and an appropriate little puotation from the great authors. The luncheon was deliciously served in two courses and consisted of pressed meats, sandwiches, fruit salad, coffee, pineapple sherbet and little heart shaped iced cakes. The party was altogether a most charming one.
