different artistic weavings of cable, with each

tanning card bearing sentiment from some
one of the authors writings, happily selected
apropos to the guest, and upon the reverse side
a scroll inscribed Gable Greetings" The read
ing of these bits OF sentiment by each recipient
was made extremely delightful by snatches OF
"reminiscences and explanation from Mr.. Cable
concerning the history and circumstances sur
rounding the writing Of the selections read
This part of the evening was mutual
pleasure to both guests and author, who
himself keenly relished the witicisms and criti-
cisms which his own words and writings called
forth from around the appreciative board
The two delightful hours spent at the table
with Its dual relish of wit and entertainment,
convinced everyone that both the genial host
and hostess and their inimitable guest, in the
language OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pleasure"
