Dancing was the principal amuse-
ment, and everyone present express
sed themselves as having a rare ev-
ening of pleasure. Many were the
compliments showered upon Miss
Sallic. and twas not until a late
hour that the guests began paying
their respects to the beautiful hostess.
About 100 o'clock: each delighted
couple said goodnight, and the
rafting of the carriages as they de-
parted seemed to speak in terms of
praise of happy evening. The
reception was given in honor of
Miss Amelia Schwertzferger, of
Wheeling, w. Va.
We overheard the following con
versation down street the other day,
between two females. Said one, as
she gracefully wrung the water
from an undershirt, and languidly
rubbed soap over toeless sock:
"s;.y, Marian, some peoples
mighty mean and uncommodatin'
like, amt they27
allows that?'' said the other, MS
she ceased scraping the cuticle from
II shirt bosom.
DWELL, here's these 'lectic-light
parties. If they had just put their
strings down lower, they'd made
the incest clothes-lincs in the world,
doncherllnow, and the heat that
passes through 'em would err dried
the clothes in no time. / tole one
NV en- bout it, and he said: Yes,
they might er done that, and if
they'd thought NV it in time, they'd
furnished the soap m starch to do
the wasI,in' with, too Smart Alec!
Some people do think they're too
smart to live"
"That's what" and the suds flew
out of the tubs thicker than black
gnats out of corner rsin-barrel,
while the last thing we heard was
"Mariar" singing, "Oh! what a
friend we have in Jesus"
