Her smile was very sweet:
Just then, somehow. in turning,

One of the most novel and pleasing
entertainments OF the week was the
Klondike social, given in the lecture
room Of st. Matthew's Protestant Epis-
oopai church Friday efenlng, by the
ladies Of the congregation, WHO have
formed an organization Tor the com
mendable purpose CT raising funds TO
remove the Indebtedness upon the
church. The arrangements were made
upon a scale and in q manner which
reflected the taste and ingenuity of the
ladies. Everything was suggestive of
