Miss Eleanor Campbell in honor of
the anniversary of the birthdays of
Misses Mary Cunningham and Laura

phensonSeminary. The two charming
young ladies were assisted in receiv-
ing by the attractive Miss George
Lindsay. The parlors were hand
somely and tastefully decorated
with beautiful flowers and grace ul
ferns, and brilliantly lighted by
candles. The bright faces of those
present, with the soft tints of their
evening dresses, combined to make
it most attractive and memorable
scene. Elegant refreshments were
served, after which the guests, among
whom were many of the most popu-
lar young ladies of Charles Town,
departed wishing their charming
hostesses many happy returns of
their birthday. ANON.
