member the evening for many years

member the evening for many years to come
 The interior of the house looked as though it had been touched by the magic wand of fairy and changed from an everyday home into beautiful fairy palace in which the people of the mystic realm were gathered for their moonlight revel. and the young people seemed to forget for time that they belonged to earth, and to look at the bright, happy faces and listen to the merry peals of laughter showed how real was their pleasure. The taste and elegance with which the house was decorated showed that Mrs. Speers knew well how to combine natures flowers and mans art so as to please the eye of the severest critic.
 The entire house was brilliantly tl- luminated and decorated with ferns. roses, lilies, pinks and hyacinths. and not only was the eye pleased with all that goes to make up the beauty of such an occasion, but there feil upon the ear strain. of music almost divine in it's sweetness and harmony, played as only Mrs. Langford can play
 One of the principal features of the evening was the gypsy tent made of bright colors and beautifully deco rated with flowers and eyergreens. , over which fell the soft radiance of colored lights which gave to the tent the appearance of real gypsy camp, and as the young people had their fortunes told by the gypsy all the old legends aud the mysterious do- ings of the wandering tribe" were brought to their minds.
 Mrs. W. ". Byrd, representing the fortune-teller, told the little folks of the happiness in store for them, .and, should her prophecies be fulfilled (and we trust they will) their path way through life will be cne of peace and gladness.
 In the gypsy tent was basket of souvenirs numbered iE duplicate, and SIS she told their fortunes the gypsy gave to each q ribbon, aud the young gentlemen, after finding the young lady having the duplicate of numbers, escorted them into the spacious dining room. The tables were arranged so as to represent the letter H, and beautifully decorated with flowers were reminders of the ambrosial feasts of the gods, and the dainties served in courses were of the choicest and most delicate kind.
 At 10:30 the happy company reluc tantly took their departure, and as they bade good night to their host and hostess each and every one real alized that they had spent an even ing of real, true enjoyment which would be indelibly written on the :. scroll of memory.
