A visit to the len garck-n conducted by Aiiss Helen Livezey in I'lymouth Meetii.t;, very ui,proi)i'iately named •"J iio i'lea.saunce," ia one- quite Intei-j listing, impressive and enjoyaljle.

In the lalter one finds ai broad ssotinent of Italian and tipanish pottery. Jade, Cottalina glasa- wai'e, imported brass pieces from the Orient, Majolica were frum Frunce and many other novel and uniuue pieces appeal strongly to the' iK-sid «, in the gitt siit,i, handsome     linen     scarls,
,       which are  made right  in
the village by Jlrs. Anno F. Ambler. 'tile iiieces arn sjilendidly executed and boautlful i.n design and quite alhu'ing. To the rear of the old Livezey mansion ' is localed lhe tea giirdein whn-e beneath the old shade at ii.sy tables one enjoys a repast or Siindwiclies cold drinks or a cooked dinner, if ordered. Three lociti young girls aid Miss Livizi \' i,n llie service of tlie refreshments. They are Misses Mai'y McClean and Oladys Amibler, of Plymouth Meeting, and Miss KUiancr Celine, of Consholiocken. In tho evening a lively orchestra of ti pieces composed by Noiristown boys jilay to the dancers. Miss Livizey contemplates or- tending lur business to include buffet lirecikSasts. Theso, too, as the dinners, must be oi-dered at Mast a day prior to the servico. Thus far Miss Liveaey has been very successful in her new *«itei-prise and ha.s catered to several parUes as well a.s the individual tourist parlies. It is an ideal place for a luncheon or social function, ana spkuidid facilities are olfered for such events. Miss Livezey will be much pleased to cater at any hour when previously reiiuested. At present however, the tea gardun is open at 3 p. m., and continues in its service throughout thn evening. A visit here ill tho evening or in ho late after¬ noon   is   a   vei-y   deliightful   occasion.
Repoi-ts are again prevalent ana somewhat mure confirmed that the shuttle troUiy betweon Hannonville and Plymouth Centre, better known as the "].)inky," will be removed this summ-er. Although nunc of the opera¬ tors of lliis trolley car has been noti- fiud of any change in tlie systerv, rumor direct from their main ofUco has it that such a move vvill )>e effected in August and a bus operated instead. This leads to the thought of the terrible highway condition, which it Is now as.«ui\^d will 7je iniproved by the county.
