face as she was ushercd into the beau
tifully decorated parlors filled with her
friends. As she entered the door the
orchestra, hidden behind a bower Of
palms, played a selection from Victor
Herbert's "Sercnade."

sam that the entertainment to which
she had been invited was in reality
complimentary reception to herself, eX-
pressive of the love and esteem of the
scores of girls to whom she has en-
deared herself during her connection
with the L. W. c. y. work in this city.

the surprise and meeting with her old
friends The orchestra consisted of
Charles Doersam, VIII Allen, Will
