the sale of caps, about 40 in number,
which went off with a rush, the pur-
chaser receiving two caps upon one of
which the lady was named with whom
he was to take supper. Seated at the
table were two long rows of white
heads, in some instances strangely
mated, yet enjoying menu of chicken
salad, sandwiches, or biscuits, cocoa
or coffee, or different favors of cream
and cake extra if they wished. Var
