VIENNA CROSS ROADS.

ever. Our gondolas are ready for instant
use. .. One of the pleasantest society events
of the season which have had the pleas
ure of attending, was the party given AT
the home of the Misses Stephenson, Friday
night, in memory of the 14th birthday OF
their neice, Miss Daisy Cooley. The
evening shades had scarcely set
tied when the guests began ar
irving. The ladies'. almost with
out exception, were attired In loose, fiow-
ing gowns of white, the en- semble of the
scene presenting very pretty picture.
The interior Of the spacious residence was
one dazzling array of lights, arranged to
produce beautiful effects. About IL o'clock
refreshments were served. The ''wee
sma" hours of the morning had arrived be-
fore the guests began departing, and when
they did. 1t was with the realization that
they had been most charmingly entertained.

ton Clark was appointed quartermaster
sergeant and George Randall color ser
geant Geroge Irwin was mustered in.
| was awakened from sound slumbers last
Tuesday night by an awfully loud report.
My first impression was than an anarchist
had attempted to blow up the town with
dynamite. Found later, however, it was q
salute by the S. of V. to welcome a bridal
party. There were cigars In it am told.
