 Owing to the indictment weather the at tendance at the silver tea, given by the la dies of the First Presby terian church at the
 residence Of Judge and Mrs. A. c. Howze,
 was not as large as it would have been had
 the weather been agreeable. The house was preltiy decorated with silver tinsel. The table in the dining room was particu- larly lovely; silver slreamers, with stars, extended from the chandelier to the corners of the table, which was loaded with good things to eat, in the preparation of which the Presby yterau ladies are experts. The refreshments were served by the pretty young girls of the Sunday school wearing | silver spang gied aprons and caps, and the clinking of silver dimes, quarters and dol lars, mingled with the merry laughter Of these little maidens, made music to older ears. The silver tea was as bright and at
