always social and financial success,

out en- masse to listen to an interesting
literary program and eat ice cream
served at the hands of charming and
handsomely gowned young ladies.
The hall was very tastefulIy decorat-
ed with streamers of red, white and
blue, and at regular intervals were
placed flags to bring out a most har-
mOnious effect. The booths were very
attractive affairs, and were made the
more inviting by the fair faces which
peeped modestly forth to allure the
visiting throng to some advantageous
sale or Well-to- aforementioned bargain
The rooms of the Lyceum itself were
open to the ladies, and they enjoyed
roaming through the luxurious bache-
Tor apartments of the members, which
were pleasingly decorated in their
honor
Mark o. Carroll was master of cere-
monies, and presided over the eXer-

| grace and good humor, which put the
