imagine. In point OF variety decorations. costly
and useful prizes or general attractivencss. the

,itt,e post ONCE at Rebecca's Well or at the sixty
tables which were laden with rich and handsome
gfrs, and for which passers BY were engaginlv 30
l,cited to take chance. The appearance
of the room on entering Is almost bewIderlng
