colored lights, crowned with flowers,
furnished with the finest ware in silver
and china, and served by pretty girls
in snowy-white gowns and iuttering
ribbons-was a thing of beauty" and,
if not a Joy forever" afforded great
pleasure in ices and other tempting re-
freshments. The art gallery was the
f~un-provoking feature of the evening,
where the victim paid his nickel to
enter and behold the creations of the
'Sold masters" such as the way-worl
travellers" "a pair Of delapidated. fray
ed-out slippers), "the ruins Of Greece"
"a couple Of battered I'D candles), etc.
