AURORA CONCLAvE S. w. M.-The gal
liant members of this organization certainly
are familiar with the amenities of life out
side the lodge room, and we are told they
are powerful inside their walls. Last night,
to diversity their good deeds, they furnished
their friends with rare treat in Carrollton
Gardens, where one of the most elegant
gatherings ever witnessed was congregated.
The managers took nothing from the
treasury, all bills being paid by individual
subscription, refreshments and all other
things being given the invited guests with
out charge There were two bands of
music; one for dancing and one to furnish
music during the intervals. The ladies
We're lovely and agreeable, and their toilets
in rare good taste. AS all present We're
there by private invitation, the assembly
was necessarily as select as could be. The
grounds were brilliantly lighted, and all
details closely attended to, evidently by
artistic hands. The guests enjoyed them
selves uncommonly WELL and those who in
dulged in dancing found that recreation
particularly agreeable, as the weather was
almost too cool for summer clothing.
The programme was well arranged and
somewhat novel, having departed from the
usual routine. Young couples RECALLED them
selves in quiet fiirtations among the shady
arbors, tasting such delieacies as were free
ly passed around by walters. Those who
planned this diversion certainly deserve
credit for their wisdom and we imagine the
ladies will watt the managers many per
fumed thanks. 1t is hoped other societies
will make note of the style adopted by
this conclave and initiate the example set.
1t was announcement for our reporter to re-
main until the close, yet there is no doubt
the members remained until their rosy
namesake, Aurora, drove her glowing
chariot out of the eastern horizon.
