why the feet had not gone to Spain.,
A Senator who is very friendly with

a grand sight was to ne seen

These gave 4 cordial welcome

and dispensed the ,lospitability Of

Songs and other pastime were

Delicious and cooling refresh

Music was furnished by Co.

each other, for they moved off, in
groups, either to the tennis court
or to listen to the sweet harmo-
