The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-02-13


spread with immaculate linen, upon
which reposed a magnigoent floral arch,
cut glass and silver: the guests, the
men in full dress and the ladies hand
somely gowned, forming a human lambre-
quin about the wall, where they were
served, in the glow of lights filtered
through vari.colored globes and shades;
the subducd conversation: the passing
out of old faces and tho appearance of
new ones: with the sweet strains Of an
orchestra stationed in an upper room
formed scene that will long be remcm-
bercd
One subdued ray in the radiance Of this
social splendor was the unavoidable alb
sence of Mrs. Mckinley, mother of the
host. Illness prevented her appearance,
as a guest Of honor, but the wealth of
sympathy that quietly went out to her
must have made itself known to, and
kept company with, the woman who has
followed so faithfully and earnestly the
career of her beloved son.
The music was by the Thayer band
orchestra, and was delightful.
THE WEATHER.
The good fortune Of the governor, that
has become prOverbial, was not missing
Wednesday The elements, With their
unseemly actions for several days, as If in
honor of distinguished citizen, abated
their fury and the sun shone, The even
ing was pleasant, and while the moon
a. a
the Mckinley home illuminated the
grounds. At II o'clock, the hour when
the reception closed, rain fell. It in
erased gradually, and before midnight
lightning flashed vivldly. The weather of
today is too well known to need COM
ment.
