tune OF the evening was worn by one
OF Lexington's most beautiful daughters,
Miss Ada Long. 1t consisted of a dress
made OF corn shucks, in fringes; which.

pocket Of shucks and corr stalks was
supported by u popcorn chain; her
flower basket and fan of shucks, the lat

bracelets were made of square pieces of

little ears, and a few wild roses at the
