who has recently come back from o
long summer In England. This she
bought In London. 1t Is two bottles
resting against each other and 80 sup
porting themselves, although the
bottles are quite rounding In shape.
Their surface Is frosted and the little
silver ball lying between them ADDS
to tho resemblance which they attempt
of tennis rackets. This imitation Is
carried out by the square shaped silver
shoppers, which looks like abortive
handles. The bottles are intended for
oil and vinegar and were presented
to salad-loying housewife

Orange and lemon trees In full bloom

They are crlmped, and tho loayes OF

the musical programme, opened by
Miss Dora Korup with Il difficult but
well executed piano solo. The vocal
solo by Mrs Lapish, and the duets
by H. S. Newman and Mrs. Lapish,
and Miss Hard and Mr. Shawhan,
were rendered with the we'll known
vocal power of the respective partici-
pants, as was the quartette by Mrs.
Kimball, Mrs. Lapish, Prof. Low,
and VIM. Vansice. The instrumental
selections by Miss Fosselman ant
Mrs. Newman were pleasing feat

were surprise and both the young
ladies were obliged to reply to an en-

Misses Floy McGregor, Violet Cow

feature of the evening and was 81
well executed as to take the hous

no small amount of credit upon thei

Fuller, who swore that the new rail
road should not go through his prop
erty if he had TO guard it with shot
gun. He was willing to grant them
a right of-way along the banks of his
duck pond, but when it came to run

stand He claimed it would cut the
house right square in two and would
oblige him to 60 to the expense Of
boarding each side Of the track and
forcing him to cross the track when

right through the hallway at all

Tuesdays Entertainment.

Miss Boyer's entertainment Tues,
day evening was fairly we'll attended,
and as far as we know the result was
satisfactory both to the promoter and
to the audience. The particular
character of the performance permits
Of no special mention, except to say
that it was well executed throughout,
all bearing their parts equally well.
The Scarf fantasies and Tableau
Mouvants particularly captured the
audience and the applause was well
deserved. Miss Seeley's recitation
was a surprise for the ease and ex-
preston with which it was delivered.
The young lady possesses a high
grade OF talent in that line. The
singing by Mrs Lapish and Mrs
Townley was truly fine and was ac
corded a proper reception. MISS Xix

way to the evenings pleasure The
