former. we'll compares with he amia
bility and pleasing manners of the
latter. IIsS Lilly is decidedly cap
tivating, and is. with her ever-mer-
ry countenance, fine figure and
graceful movements, the cynoSure
of all eyes. She has brought to her

"Teai, Vidi, Tici7, Miss Bertha
Friedenberg of HaZlehurst may also
well claim her place in the foremost
ranks, for her humble yet elegant
costume as peasant girl was TOst
pleasing to behold, her taultless
and elegant figure towering lofty
above the hosts of young gentlemen
who, constantly formed an admiring
circle around her form. Unique
and giving proof of great amount
of taste, were the masks Of the
Misses Sallie and Minnie Marks,

we would also, make mention of
Miss Schwar;z, DryfoOs and
Michaels from Jackson, all hand
some ladies, who will, but too soon
depart from our midst, and leave
behind them many friends, who re-
gret their early departures. But the
ladies Of Canton did by no means
permit any superiority and con
sequently made strenuous efforts to
equal at least, in splendOr and eles-
ance of costumes those who were
their guests and to whom they paid
the just tribute as hostess. And

Mrs. Jacob Loeb, for being tine

with these virtues an attractive

and Il fascination Of conversation

to enjoy her merry laughter and
her sp,ightful good nature. Miss
Alexander was excellent in her per

acted her part, worthy an actress on
the stage. Miss Sophie Never
never looked more charming then
on this occasion and she took with
