A Delightful AFFAIR in spite ola Threat-
ening Night.


said q LEADER reporter to Rev. DIR.
Rafter last night, who was beaming, in a
fatherly way, among the happy patrons of
the festival in Library hall. "0f course
it's a success he replied. did you
ever hear of the Episcopal ladies holding
an affair of this kind that wasn't a sue
cess?' And when he was asked for some
particulars upon which an account of the
occasion might be beautifully constructed
he said, Come here, you two, the
other one was a Sun. stroke-"Come, sit
here with me. and eat strawberries and
ice cream, and cakes and things, and Ill
tell you all about it." Then he ordered
three rounds of the ammunition suggested
and gave the lady in charge a great big
dollar and proceeded to explain the situa.
ton, from which the information was de-
rived that Mrs. Hale was the general in
charge, assisted by Mrs. Voorhees,, and
they two also kept watch and ward at the
door. The first table, which was loaded
with flowers and berries and growing
plants, and superb and tempting cakes,
in quantities to suit the times, was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Hunton and Mrs.
Walter Hurlburt, The other three tables,
which were almost counterparts OF the
first, were presided over by Mrs. Kent
and Mrs. Richardson, Mr.. Rich and Mrs.
Cleary, Mrs. Horrie and Mrs. Kuyken-
dali. The flower table, which was a
glowing delight, was attended by Miss
Melee and Miss Friend, and the lemon
ade department was manipulated by Mrs.
Parschall, Miss Brooke and Miss Whit
comb, and the browning beauty of all the
tables was in great bowls of pansies sent
by Mrs. Hay. Inman's excellent orches-
trial baud furnished the music for the
occasion, and there was dancing and social
joy and a good time all the way through.
The ice cream tables stood in the alcove
to the left of the entrance, and the lemon
ade and flower stands occupied places in
front and on each side OF the alcove en-
trance. The band occupied the rostrum
at the west end of the hall, which was
brilliant in light land decorations, and in
the attendance which filed it. The cos
tunes of the ladies were exquisite, and
the people there were from the elite of
the city. INT. long after midnight the
dancing was kept up, and when the hour
of departing came all thought that time
had flown too quickly, and none who were
present entertain any other opinion than
that the St Marks festival was the most
delightful of the season, as doubtless it
was the most profitable pecuniarily.
