II will be seen from the above table
that while our Centennial Exhibition
still heads the list by many thousands of
dollars, the Paris Exhibition which has
lust closed takes the second place and it
must be remembered that this result has
been OBJ aimed under most dscouraging
conditions, the disturbed state of Europe
causing many persons to advocate the
abandonment of the Exhibition scheme
altogether, and when not successful in
that, TO prophesy its utter failure finan-
cialy. The figures presented show how
mistaken they were in this regard, and it
is probable that, when we receive the
number of admissions, it will be shown
that The Exhibition was equally success
in this respect also.

My Laaret BeRe--I was very much surprised
to learn from yonr letter OF the double wedding
that Is soon to take place, especially after what
happened during the girls Nsit here this sam
mer. But between you and me, Marion would have
liked very we'll to have stood in my shoes II she
could only have managed ii; and it's my opinion
that when she saw 1t WAS impossible TO win Ed
gar affections, she was 30 mad that she made
up her mind to be married to whomeyer she
couid lay hands on. II was pretty smart OF her
to keep Fred White on hand for 30 long l re-
member how he used to bean her as long ago as
when Wa were at school together. and afterwsrd
when We had come ont, at Mr.. Huntlsys. But

You know; and think that has made her more
anxious to secure what she could. In spite OF all
people have said about her success in society, l

who doesn't and that's Edgar Ssuyvesant, be.

OF course you are curious to know how our en-
gagement came about, for really, after ALL it hap
pened very unexpectedly. You knew that we
have been intimate for a long time, and Edgar
was always the most devoted escort that I had,
but never dreamed Of anything more until our
summer visitors arrived. l think it was the
sight OF the other gentlemen's attentions, espe-
cially Raymond's, that brought him to see that
