years of age. Mrs. Worth has always lived
with her daughter-in-law in San Francisco
since her arrival in California, where she
has seen her children, granuchlldren ana
great-grandchildren grow up around her.
The afternoon was spent by the guests in
anecdotes ard recollections of their home
life in the sea-girt Isle OF Nantucket before
the Californian gold fever separated them

neighboring States, has in the last few years
become famous as a watering place during
the summer months, hundreds OF families
coming there from all over the United
States. This has made an entire change in
the old town, gas having taken the place OF
oil, water works the place OF the town
pump, ana railroads the place Of the spring
cart and one-horse chaiSe.
Tie discussion of these and kindred sub
jectS connected with their old home made
the time pass too quickly for the twenty

Cakes and fancy articles, and best wishes
