rolling thunder comes nearer and nearer !;
with crash gaslight disappears and a
semi.darkness OF electric blue settles
dancers whirl along to the accompani-

much interest has been manifested, and

shape of receptions was that of the

provoking speeches by several gentle
men, including DR.. w. J. Chichester,
the pastor, the whole assemblage was
invited into the dining room where a
great abundance and variety of tooth
some refreshments were served to the
guests of the society, and q most happy
time WAS spent for several hours. No
notice of this reception would be COM
plete without alluding to the beautiful
and artistic manner in which the par
lors were decorated. The whole length
of the wall behind the stand of the Off
GERS was decorated with an appropriate
text from the Bible, the letters all
worked out with smilax in most clever
manner. This striking and beautiful
decoration WAS executed by Mrs. Hart
we'll. The other decorations were elab-
crate and in most exquisite taste. The
ladies were complimented on all hands
for the great financial success they had
achieved and the very handsome man
ner in which they celebrated it's accom-
plishment.
