The entertainment and social held by the

A. R., on last Monday evening, was a very graf
flying success, financially and otherwise. The
first part of the evening was devoted to music
and recitauons, under the management of Miss
Alice NJ. Tower against whom no fault could
be found except that she treated her audience
to but one number (from La Traviata" we
think) bv herself. 1t was finely rendered, and
elected warm and continued applause Miss
Tower, however, declined to respond or allow
others to do so, as the programme was very

extra clerks, busy from early morn until early
morn. On either side of the store was a solid
banking of the rarest and most beautiful of
every variety of flowers roses of every de-
scription and every color. some that by their
fragrance, made one think of the month of
June and bees slipping the honey from the
blossoms, others were truly magnificent in their
beauty but lacked the fragrance. Other varie-
ties of flowers were as liberally and gorgeously
represented, and towering above all in great
profusion and glory were the pure white ap-
propriately named, Easter lilies, that by their
very purity and lack of coloring inspire holy
thought
