MRS. SMITHS LAST AT HOME.
From Our Staff Correspondent)
Montpelier Nov 16.-The last AT
Home at the executive mansion was
given this afternoon by Mrs. Smith, wife
of the governor and like its predecessors,
it was a pleasant success. About 30 peo-
pie availed themselves of this last oppor-
tuniy of visiting at Mrs. Smiths at Mont
pSlcr. The hostess was assisted in re-
cciving by Mrs. J. Gregory Smith, Miss
Smith, Mrs. Haskins. wife Of the speaker,
Mr.. j. NJ. Foss and Mrs. Farrand Stran-
ahtn, Miss Harwood of Swanton and Miss
es Ranlett and Fonda presided at the re-
freshment table. 1t was said by some at
tho opening Of the session that no more
swell entertainment would be found in
Montpelier than Mrs. Smiths 1t is now
admitted that Montpelier has never known
a more charming and cordial hostess than
she has been during the biennial session
of 1888 and many ladies will miss the So
cial opportunities afforded them in Mont
Iclcr.
