was an out-of-doors fete, and was very
beautifully gotten up. The tables for
cards and refreshments, the merry
groups with their bright parasols, fresh
dresses. and ribbons, made a charming
picture under the trees. The soft air
of the evening and perfect sunset
added their exquisite charm, and the
party adjourned only in time for the
ball. The first prizes, very beautiful
fan and q silver-headed cane, were re-
spectively won by Miss Alley, Of New

charms were somewhat dimmed when

beneath his red and yellow parasol,
looked quite a Ia Miksdo. Among the

time the out-of.door sports have been
in high favor.
