AN INVITATION.
In her room ON the top floor Of the
house Ethel Rodney sat in the darkness,
distraught with grief and wild with ter
ror.
Early in the afternoon she had fed up
stairs, determined to quit the house as
soon as she had put few things to-
gether and to seek for some place in the
neighborhood where she might engage a
bedroom. She could not sleep another
night in the awful house which con-
tanned the dead body of her aunt-the
aunt whose last conscious moments she

 Refreshments of every nature and kind were shown and served, all out of the accumulation of this ample and complete stock, exhibiting the thorough and satis- factory knowledge by these accomplished caterers to the demands of the general public, and housewives in particular.
 The bounteous lunch spread by them was an earnest of what they have in store, and the cordial and generous way and manner of it's serving will long be a pleasant recollection in the memory of all who participated.
