Dame nature has most assuredly re-
called 90 us with an ice (cream) fesu-
val during the past week; and the lit
tie folks, with the babies have given
Il Scream!"'-far beyond our saustac-
ton and tender nerves; their frozen
fingers and toes were not as enjoyable
as the cosy chair, elegant neghgees'
velvets, and furs, which last were
shown off to great advantage, Tin the

love always finds the way to penetrate
all DISCUSSES there were many loving
glances. and sweet words whispered
behind the masque. The Indian squaw
was well represented by Miss Rena
Maverick, and created great laughter;
but 1t was conceded by all present that
the two little school girls were the
most charming and the best personated
faces present in that gay throng OF
lovely ladies and handsome young
