have foresworn this world and passed
in their checks without murmur.
The dance was one of those exquis'

depth. and entwine about the hearts
of the dancers the sweetest emotions,
to linger in fond memory for years to
come.

the caterer of Delmonico. The fine
taste in the arrangement Of the spread

sweet morscls and viands generally
were enjoyed by that happy people as
they gathered around the sumptuous
board. Each guest found at his plate
a souvenir in the shape of a walking
stick made of candy. The sandwiches
were tied with silk ribbon of different
col0rs.
