pleasant and successful affairs for which the
ladies of that church have become noted. The
tables were handsomely arranged, the re-

with impstience the advent of another love-
time. With n good, firm snow a pile Of soft.
warm wraps; two pairs to draw, one pair on
the front and one pair on the rear seat; and
sleigh bells enough TO render quips and
lauirks, and an occasional tender word al
= least semi private, the boys say the cutter is
ga da isy."
