The sight OF four or five hundred persons dining to-
/ gethcr in the splendid hail OF the Irving house
was probably novelty to the three artists, ana
/ must have been viewed with interest.
Invitations, visits, and gifts Of all kinds are be
coming somewhat embarrassing, and, We learn,

/ more private quarters, of which she ~ IN daily
search. An invitation from the lnstituton Tor. the
Blind has been accepted, and she signihed at once
/ her intention TO visit and sing for them. Bishop
