A Lawn Fetc

1t was like glimpse into Farylrnd, is the
verdict of all who viewed the pretty scene upon
the lawn surrounding the home of DIR G. w Nc
Gavren last evening, where Miss rcllie McGav-
rcn and Miss Vera Foss entertained about one
hundred of their young friends. A string of
incandescent lights alternating globes of red
and white, gay colorcd garden seats, hammocks
and profusion of rugs added to the youth an d
beauty of the guests and the pretty, girlish
gowns made picture of loveliness almost sur
passing description. The guests were received
by the hostcsses and Mrs Geo A Kellogg, who
made charming chaperone, at the head Of the
stone steps at the front entrance into the lawn
The company soon dispersed themselves into
conganial groups which during the evening be-
by all others and the social spirit was delight
full. Refreshments were served upon the lawn,
the lostcsses being assisted in serving by Mcssrs
Boies, Lahman and Mclaughlin. Misses Mabel
Cook and Florence Osborne presided over the
frappe bowl upon the east porch
After refreshments were served the sounds of
a waltz were heard and in less time than it
floors of the parors were filled with young pco-
pie in the whirl of the giddy maze. WalZcs,
twosteps and the lancers followed and those dis
posed danced to their hearts content while
others visited, chatted aud laughed out under
the stars, while here and there a matron who
had been invited as special mark of favor by
the young lostesses gave pleasing appearance
/, of dignity to the brilliant affair
Midnight drew a curtain over the pretty pic
ture and in a very short time silence reigncd
where all had been full of life light and happi-
ncss but each young guest will mark tho event
among their red letter days.
