were sewed on their cards. Miss Mag

which consisted OF a needle and thread
with string of buttons, with instruc-
tions to practice up On the art Of
sewing.
After the young people had thor
Oughly enjoyed themselves at this
lpastime they INDUCED in an amuse-
ment furnished by Mr.. Andrews, who
by the way, won for himself quite a
reputation as an entertainer Of juven.
lies. Mr.. Andrews had prepared an
apple, swung from the ceiling by a
rubber and stuck full of 'all day suck
ers." The young people were blind
folded with their hands tied behind
them and required to secure the
suckers" by pulling them from the
apple with their mouths. This form
OF amusement provoked great mirtb.
