Mira Tayior Entortains Members of the |

One of the most delightful social enter, |
tainments of the season was gwen last 1
night by Mrs. Charles +. Taylor, the /
belle of the New Orleans trip" as she mas !
been frequently called since the return OF !
the Howitzers from their visit 10 the Ores-
cent City.
Invitations TO the reception, which was /
for the purpose of talking over the trip ,
and spending social evening, were eX-
tended 20 a large number OF those VINO
visited New Orleans. and the occasion was
certainly fitting sequel TO that dehghttui
memory of the past.
POLK MILLER AND THE ALLEGATIONS THERE.
To make matters more realistic, MIR. POLK |
Miller was present with his tunetul BANJO, |
which merrily twanged forth "Gooseberry |
Pie" and other familiar melodies that
brought back pleasant recOllections. Some |
one in the party asked If the ALL
gators which the. New Orleans visi-
tors brought back from the Crescent /
CITY had been included among the
invited guests: and sure enough. there
they were. though ON slightly improved
plaIl that is % say, made of paper. SIEVE
raj of these reptiles, with sufficiently
large mouths and disegreeable personal
Appearances were scattered around the
brilliantly-lighted and beautiful parlors IN
which the guests assembled.
BTERYrBISG NICE TO EAT.
Captain and Mrs. Taylor asked their
friends into the dining rooma few minutes
after 10 and told them 10 help them
selves TO amagnhcent supper. which was
awaiting them, The repast, which con-
sisted OF oysters. salads, fruits. strawber-
ries. cream, and punch, was then part3ken
of amid the repdrts and jollity of such live
" spirits as Major Tom Brander; Mr.. IL. Z;
Morton, and Messr3. Mul Crutchheid and
Monte Workman.
1t ia needless to say that every tongue
was eloquent, both upon the conquests of
the fair hostess in the Crescent City and
the pleasures of that never-to- be-forgotten
trip, Toasts' were proposed to the far
men and brave women of the South " ut Is
said certain Richmond captain did once
propose such toast) and also TO two de-
parted military heroes, whose memories
were also honored amid the sparkling OF
wine by the merry Kichmonders in New
Orleans.
IT WAS RED PEPPER.
1t is true that Captain Taylor himself
did not go to New Orleans with the How
itzers and Veterans, but II was not Mr..
Polk Miller's intention TO let him escaDe
without having laugh on him, so he re-
lated the circumstances OF the Captains
first meeting with Mrs. Taylor. and told
how their happy union was brought about
by q slight sprinkling of red pepper"
which was placed upon the Captain by
malicious joker.
A short while after the return of Mrs. |
Taylor from New Orleans she received "a |
very mysterious parcel. Upon opening IT |
she found large and beautiful cake with |
the following inscription upon it: To the |
Belle of New Orleans. She took de |
kake." This handsome specimen of Gull
nary art was exhibited last night among |
the many other delicacies which crowned |
the festal board.
