were present. Some of whom were
quite dignifed and took possession of
the parlors and enjoyed themselves
in quiet conversation and music, but
those that were ont for a good time
took possession of the large dining
room, and engaged in various games,
that might have been a little noisy,
but none the less enjoyable. until
they were interrupted by the an
nouncement that refreshments would
be served in that room. They then
adjourned for a short time, only to
gather around the tables again to
oartake of the delightful cakes and
ruitS. After which for an hour or
