dividual who formed a component part
OF that happy asSembage. In the mat

any social event Of the season, as the
gowns were most elaborate aud beauti-

spoke Il was music, and when they were
silent music wept until they spoke
again. There was especially one bru-

eyes as an indulgsnt Providence ever
permitted = pretty woman 10 wear for
the discontinue OF mankind. 1t was 3
veritable rosebud garden Of girls. :"
