were walking about to see the sights, as
well as to show their appreciation Of the
sensation they themselves created at every
turn. The ladies and the babies of the le-
cation came in for their own share of the
general notice. Those who passed by the
hotel during the later hours of the after
noon were rewarded by glimpses of the la
dies. whose Sunday gowns We're the perfec-
ton Of Celestial richness in color and tex
| ture. One of the secretaries brought out
his baby for an airing and soon such a
crowd had collected about them that they
held quite a reception. The baby was got
up In the prettiest fnery, and exhibited
much good nature as its parent in permit
ting everybody who wanted to do 30 to
shake hands. A smile, bland and serene,
mumined the features OF the young father.
