Jones, and Mrs. II, 5. Snow Jointly
entertained 4 large number of their
friends al Mrs. n. II. Shows, Tues

as the details were we'll kept for the
evening. Each lady drew prize
trinket, and with the gentlemen who
drew the corresponding one, was
asked to compose, in Il given time, Il
stanza upon the article, for the prize.
Each lady in turn read the verse, and
the one selected by the judges as COM
ing up TO the standard was ON the tin

poetry. The party was delightful
