A thoroughly enjoyable event. was
the reception of last week. rendered
the ladies of the w. &. T. l. and their
friends, at the hospitable home of Mrs.
Lena Miller in Arcadia. The house,
being perfect in arrangement. was
well lighted and profuseiy decorated
with autumn leaves. The refresh
ments were the most refreshing; and
in the entertainment, there was moth
ing lacking. Halloween games were
INDUCED in. and created muchNamuse-
present; among the ladies were,
Mother Goose" Joan of Arc"
''Trilby," The Duchess" Cleo
patra. - and many other. The gentle
men present represented nearly every
walk in life: rip Van Wrinkle, :" Rev.
Sam JONES'" Jim Corbett" were all
there. Each and all took reluctant
leave of the hostess and voted it gen.
uine good old time!

meath the tent. and saw the man from
BorneO, likewise a tattOoed gent; /
heard the toothless lion growl, while
men in spangled clothes stepped fear
lessly into their dens and whacked
them on the nose. l saw the sacred
elephant spout water through his
trunk, and the salamander swallow
lead and other metal junk. | heard
the merry clown get off some jokes We
used to know when we were boys to-
gether, Tom, some forty years ago.
The same old horses waddled round
the same old kind of rings; the same
old comic vocalist proved that he
couldn't sing; the same old hippopot-
anus was grunting in disgust, the
same old hump-ba backed Persian OK was
kicking up the dust; the ladies on
horseback steeds to music sad and low
the same old girls we used to see
some forty years ago.-EE.
