somely dressed ia gowns of many
lovely hues, made, indeed, an exquisite
picture.
There were eight tables and for
several hours the walls fairly rung
with reverberatiOns of merry laughter
! occasioned 10y intellectual brilliance,
wit and humOr. At the conclusion OF
! the games elegant refreshments were
served in three courses. Then il was
