streets were crow ded with ladies, and the steps and
windows Of the Tonlinc and other hotels, well as
the houses around the square were thronged
At first there was some bashiulhess among the la

the first was full, there hesitation Afterwards

poor gentlemen th,re was no chance for them.
The sleighs at first passed round the circle of

A Frozen WArERFALL--The beautiful waterfalls

completely cnshrouded in ce so thckly as to prevent
the usually noisy cascade from being heard, in
low gurgle and to hide it entirely from view, except
where, at point, the veil was so thin as to allow
the dashing waters to show through.
