ernoon at his home in The Meadows. The
original and amusing invitations
had been issued in the form
of rebus, and abe responses

form of a charade. This last, which had
for its answer Charles Mills Maclean. ran
as IOilORS-
Two English Kings my first name did
bear,
Ny second initials thousand might
share,
But being less ten and modest as well,
A part of a cent is all I will tell,
Add the head of a fish to small narrow
street,
And 10 and behold my last stands com
plete:
friends,
Who will come 10 your party
And stay till It ends.

ment apparently by all the little guests,
for each one seemed loath 20 depart after
such a royal good time as they had For
