ate testimonials of esteem presented by the
friends who had disregarded the restriction,

meant to simply invite friends for the pleas
ure of their company. Among the presents
thus made, were Match Making" an
ornamental match safe, by Miss Minnie
Allen; cake knife and case, Mr.. Mort Baker
and Miss Jennie Harrison; silver goblet, Mr..
