the gorgeous Prince, Mr.. Allen Rous, of
Baltimore, bewailed his fate, and although
glancing for moment at their charms, he
closed his eyes against them, refusing all
advances and desiring only his own beloved
to come and bring him joy.
At last the recognition took place, the
recipient being Miss Florence DeFord. o,
Baltimore, in bridal array. The rejected
young ladies were dressed most artistically
