the claims Of the young ladies' who formed % at
trsctive feature Of the reception at this beautiful
residence, its repreeeL tative, truthful reporter
Of notable events, il compelled to stale that there
we're three ladies' present in General Beckers par
iors who justly received more attention than al the
younger ladies' combined. These three ladies were
Mrs Isman, the mother Of Mrs. Geo. Rocker:
Mrs. Becker, the mother Of General Becker, and
Mrs. Atkinson, tho mother Of Dr. Atkinson, the
efficient, affaole and able permanent secretary Of
the American Medical association. These three
ladies met by chance" In General Becker's parora
last evening, and Notwithstanding that I'll Of them
are grandl thars they fairly divided the honors In
point of youthfulness, With their children. Their
meeting upon this occasion was productive OF much
comment, and their presence and their sprightly
conversation added much TO the pleasure Of this
most enjoyable reception.
