A Social Euemt.

The beautiful ancestral home of the
Misses Timberlake, on Congress and
Charles streets, was the scene of ANNA
ted loneliness and good cheer, on the
evening of August II. from eight to
eleven; the occasion being a reception
given in honor of Mrs t. W Timberlake,
Mrs c. r. Kemp and Mrs. Ambrose
Timberlake. Feelings are more easily
imagined than described, when entering
the same gate. passing up the same grav-
eIed way that our grandparents and pa
rents did in visiting the home of that no.
bic Virginia gentleman, DR.. Lee Griggs,
and his estimable family. We pause up
on the threshold memories gather. The
home is aglow, and beautifully decorated.
At the entrance on either hand are the
little card receivers = two lovely little
blossoms from the far away southland
The aseemblage is varied, but for the
most part, it is reunion of old friends
Some have "borne the burden and heat
threads commingling; upon some the
frosts have fingered while others here
and there, are wearing crown of purity.
Much might be written of the hostesses,
their true hospitality descending as their
rightful Virginia heritage; of those re-
ceiving with quiet grace and dignity, and
of the Mattresses, in all the loneliness of
young womanhood; but with the associ-
atoms of "ye olden times" comes the
feeling, allen to publicity. Thanks are
due those who made this ideal pleasure
possible. r. ID. b.
