thanks to their hospitable host and hostess
for the elegant and graceful manner in
which they had been entertained,
the members Of the Asso-

convinced that Pulaski ladies are the fair

handsome. Where all were dressed SO

but we cannot refrain from mentioning the
magnificent black velvet dress worn by
the hostress, with ornaments in keeping
with the dress,
