umet Place, the home Of Senator Logan,

the trees and swung upon ropes that ia
closed the grounds. And the green OF the
tall trees made a fitting background for all

the gloomy, impending downpour lowered
over the landscape. The occasion of the
festive preparations was garden party for

sentcd n most brilliant appearance. The

and dancing room crowded to their
utmost capacity by gathering OF
| the leading people of the city. The Germln
led by Lieut.. Ramsey was danced from 10
| O'Clock until midnight. While 1t was im.
| possible to say just what was realized 1t Is
estimated that $1,000 was taken in at the
gate and at the different booths. Mrs.
Francis Cotton, holding ticket No. 40, won
the fine screen at the drawing. Several
other articles were up for drawing, but as
| the requisite number of tickets were not
