able addition to the receiving party, as they
gave to the hundreds Of guests each and all an

with white rose bud buttonpiere. il was q
superb surprise to the society devotee to ex-
change the usual white silk and tulle for glossy
white linen and the finest broadcloth. To say
that young Hazelton bore his honors meekly
would be stating the exact truth. While the
most delicate curiosity appeared every where
no overt act was committed, and the futur o
must disclose whether after two or three brief
seasons of social success his beauty will have
paled under the searching rays Of the truthful
gasllght, and whether he will be relocated to
the rear thorn" among the fading wall
flowers, losing none Of his strength for mis-
chief amid the sweet mild decay. flock Of
