The music was very good. Everybody had a marvelous time and looked very pretty, and it was a very, very gala and lively occasion. She is undoubtedly the greatest patronness of flower growing in the city, and also the best grower herself in the East for her own house and her own apartment.

She's helped you out in Washington too.
