| men as to cause no little CONSERVATION IN the
| minds of those most affected by their absence
| In fact, 1t is even whispered that one young
| man who had occasion to pass that way had
some difficulty in resculng himself from
them, so importunate were the requests for
his presence inside to help swell the attenu-
ated ranks of the minority. Nevertheless
one of the most enjoyable evenings spent in
| Gran:teyiiIe this Season-and there have been
| many-Nas enjoyed by those who were there.
Refreshments of all kinds were literally
| supplied at frequent intervals, ard the
musicians kept busy saving catgut for the
nimble feet of the dancers till close to tn e
"wtchins hour of midnight. While dur
ing such short intervals rs CHANGED to elapse

climax are likely to receive a serious set
back, though owners of front gates may now
repair damaged hinges with some assurance
of their not being tempered with quite so
often a. heretofore.
