The visitor on entering the rink last

feel delighted at the scene before him.
Under the magic touch Of the ladies the
interior Of the rink had changed to fairy

beauty and splendor. The eye was de-
lighted at the picture presented to view
an architectural poem that compelled
praise to spring from the lips Of the de-
lighted observer. Harmony and beauty,
smiling faces, joyous life, gladness, all
deeply tinctured with that inexpressable
charm that flows from humanity when the
cares Of life are thrown aside, and men,
women and children unite to gather the
choice and rare flowers Of Joy, content

was entered, was the country store, In
which could be purchased almost every
thing usually found In such places. The
manager was Mrs. F. M. Bardeen. Ad-
