Friday evening
MRS. Russell sLoSsoS
entertained her friends to the number Of ai1ty at
her residence on Ann street. Society people
we're we'll represented, and among those present
we're noticed numoer OF brides. whose presence
added much to the interest OF the OCCASION Re-
frestmeuts. gotten up in hne ety1e were served
about ha1f-East 10 o'clock, to which tine guests
did ample justice. Tue party was in all respects
pleasant affair.
An 1SQU1s1T1yE PERSON
might have wondered, had he passed down
MARKET street Tuesday or Wednesday OF this
week. what was going on in the old Episcopal
chnreh-buildinS so long unused as place Of
Worship. Had bis curiosity led him 1uzo the
church, he would only have seen branches OF
eyergreens scattered here and there. and few
persons engaged in weaving the same into grace
ful garlanda for the decoration Of the altar and
arches. Eyergreens in a church always mean
something, and, when arches are raltsd and
festooned with wraaths OF this beautiful re-
mindcr Of summers verdure, and the church is
otherwise trimmed With it, ono may reasonably
expect that an eveut of more Ihan ordinary
Importance is about to transpi1e. So it was
Wednesday, aud o'clock in the afternoon sati.-
was about to he celebrated in the old Episcopal
Church. 4 large crowd OF people filled the
church long boforo tue hour set for the ceremo-
ny. all ot whom were interested ID the 1oluing

As all are interested in these little society events

delicate color as the roses on the hat were worn, |
