found that % taily-ko coach, loaded with
a merry throDF, had come from the
Rochbridg Alum Springs. Their arrival
had been expected and hospltabie pre-
parations La1 been made for their re-
ception. We wished TO give them ger
man. but they declined the invitation
because tney c0uld not spend the evening
with as. After they had rested their
weary bodies and replenished the
inner man or woman. rs the case might
Ire. with the plentiful repast set forth on
the festive bo,rd they adjourned IN
BODY to the ballroom, whore they were
so entranced by the polished glitter OF
the floor that the music was forthwith
summoned and dancing began. The
visiting friends left Us ut about & o'clock,
amid many wishes for a sale voyage and
speedy return.
