The retired solitude of Marks
Springs grounds on Thursday even
ing of the 9th instant was trans
ferred into fairyland. The occasion
was an ice cream festival and dance
given by the Marks Springs Social
club. The grove was beautifully
illuminated with bonfres and Japa-
nese lanterns. Their elegant plat
form was gracefully draped with
garlands of evergreen and flowers
and over each arch hung an attrac-
tive japanese lantern. Within close
proximity of the platform rustic
benches were picturesquely station
ed in the grove and cute little
light hung over each seat. To add
more beauty to the scene, the Queen
of night immersed from darkn
behind the cloud topped pines aud
cast her silvery beams through the
outrageous grove. The evening
was one of the most enjoyable events
of the season. 1t was novel and
attractive, and will be long remem-
bered by the galaxy of beautiful
maidens who attended the festival
and their vigilaDt chaperons. ~

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. "What leads
me to make this assertion is from the
fact that d ysentery in it's worst form
