A CHARMING AFFAIR.
Mrs. Neil McKenzie's Reception Attended
by Boulder's Four Hundred.

The reception given at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Neil Mckenzie last night
was a charming affair. Even nature
herself lent her aid in rendering the &C.
cason perfect in every detail, by appear
ing in her best spring mood and attire.
The assemblage began to arrive early
and by 9 o'clock the beautifully decor
ated reception rooms were literally
packed with Boulder's society world,
and the merry laughter and busy hum of
voices betokened the happy mood of all.
There are successes and successes, but
last evenings reception will be long re-
memtvred as the acme of social affairs
for this season.
The list of invitations comprised the
society circle of tn university and city
and it is fair to estimate that between
three hundred and three hundred and
fifty guests were present to do honor to
their charming hostess. A description
of the many beautiful costumes which
adorned the ladies present must be sup
piled by the imagination, for in such
cases the masculine susceptbiities are
touched and the masculine delineatlon
fails to do justice to the subject.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckenzie were assisted
in receiving by Mrs. L. I. Conan, Mr..
and Mrs. J. H. Nicholson, Miss Lovelace,
Mrs. H. w. Callahan, Mrs. B. F. Pine,
Mrs. ElIingham, Miss Georgia Elling-
ham, Mrs. Gee. F. Fonda, Mrs. J. M.
North, Mrs Gardiner, Miss Hammond
and Miss Jefferson.
Throughout the evening the Herman
dez Mandolin club, under the direction
of Miss Greenman, discoursed sweet
music in the most charming manner.
The club was at its best last evening and
the music room was by no means an un-
important feature of the entertainment.
The catering was solely in charge of
Mr.. O. T. Jackson, whose efforts in ren
dering attractive the two rooms assigned
to MS ChaISe were CroWneu Will tHS
success they justly merited.
The decorations of the various apart
ments were arranged with a great dis
play of taste and skill. Every article
capable of giving support to them, was
loaded with beautiful roses and carna-
tons, while the walls and chandeliers
were draped and festooned with ferns
and vines Mr.. w. R. Taylor had charge
of the floral decorations.
When the ladies of the company were
at last ready to depart, not little diff
Guilty was experienced in detaching the
gentlemen from the various attractions
presented in the smoking room where
refreshments and entertainments exactly
to their liking were in unlimited abund
ance.
1t was a success, an exceptional sue
cess, and the many guests were unanl-
nous in SO denomlnatlng is, and in rec
ogiizing Mrs. Mckenzie as the most
charming of hostesses.

The Only CITY.

New York seems TO think that it is the
only city in the United States, says the
Colorado Springs Gazette, and that
everything of national interest should be
collected there.
This spirit of "grab" extends even to
the bodies of national heroes. The New
Workers are SO elated over the success OF
their memorial parade, that they are now
agltating the question of removing
Washington's body from its present
resting place, and burying it in the sacred
soil of Gotham.
This suggestion is too absurd to b.
considered.
Anyone who mas ever visited Mount
Vernon must admit that it is the appro.
pirate burial place tor Washington; nd
the eternal fitness of things must he con.
sidered. Besides, Virginia would never
consent TO the removal of her hero, nc
matter what inducements New York Of
fered in the way of monument. Gotn.
am is big place, but there are others
and these others helped build the Gran
tomb
If consent was ever obtained to re
move the tomb of Washington. the whole
United States would have TO contribu.,
for the erection of a fitting monumen
for the famous general, and if New Yofl
| city engineered the money raising, il
halt century the object mighc b &C
| complshed. The Grant tomb is an illus

The Dukes Rival,

Arthur Helps, the author of the
well known book, Friends In Coun-
Gill;" often paid Professor Max Null
Ter visit on his way to or from
Blenheim, where he used to stay
with the then Duke of Marlborough
Once when Helps came to stay
with us on his return from Blen-
helm, writes Professor Muller in
Cosmopolis, he told me how the
duke had left the day before for
London, and that on that very day
the emu laid an egg.
The duke had taken the greatest
interest in his emus and had long
looked forward to this event. A tele-
gram was sent to the duke, which,
when shown to Mr.. Helps, ran as
follows:
1.-THE emu has laid an egg, and in
the absence of your grace we have
taken the largest goose we could
find to hatch it."
