Many happy days together,
We walked through heath and heather.
Till the c1rfews knell al dewy evenings shady

There we wandered on and on
Till the evenings dusky dawn.
And moonbeams sparkled in the tears OF every

And fiuitful autumn came at last.
And tinted sombre nature with its purple aud its

We walked where the down would blow,
Like the fieecy faxes OF snow.

In the haleyon days gone by,

We builded air castles and ireighted ahem with

And still with faith outspoken,

We love with an eternal love born from above.

But she's tie sweet girl in deed and in truth;

CONSIDERABLE dissent has arisen in
Washington society over Miss Bayard' s
assumption of the head place in line
after Miss Cleveland. The precedent
for Miss Bayard's action was that set
by the Frelinghuysens, whereas that
honor would belong to Mrs. Manning.
Miss Bayard's opposition mostly comes
from the army and navy officers. who
are great lovers of etiquette.
