Monte Maria is one of the loyeliest places
in Richmond, and an invitation to bepresenl
upon such an interesting occasion as was en-
joyed yesterday is compliment which
should be fully appreciated. The convent

river, and Its surroundings are beautiful
The large yard which surrounds the build.
ing is filled with towering trees which af
ford the most luxuriant shade, and beautiful
flowers ever giving out the richest fragrance,
The spot is a lovely one, and the visitor is
tempted to loiter upon the grounds longer
than the rules Of the convent will permit
The exercises were extremely appropriate,
and were enjoyed by all present.
