with ferns and flowers of various kinds
with blending of gold and green
colors. the rooms presented most in
viting appea rance. In order to make
the surroundings as nearly as possible
like the balmy southern home of the
honored guest, two darkeys from Mil
uaukee were imported for the evening
in the persons of Harry Guentner and
George Weber-that is they were
''darkeys" for the occasion. These
highly polished ebony servants received
the guests and escorted them to the
reception parlors. This novel gather
ing was certainly highly appreciated
and the games with which the evening
was taken up, were enjoyed by the
young guests. Miss Ferber was award
ed first prize and Miss Mary Thorn re.
ceived the consolation. Miss Dottie
Baldwin received a candle and candle
stick. Ice cream and cake were ther
served by the colored boys to the'grat
ificatlon of all. Those participating
were: Misses Grace Bertram, Irene

captivating in its Individuality of view.
its intimacy and enthusiasm. It is q
very near view Of one friend by another
and of one newspaper man by another
Says Mr.. Steffens, HE (Riis) told me
not long ago to go ahead and expose
him; so that, though | know he will
denounce some of the things / am
going to say, / should like to he'll
urge the claims he has made to the

like to reform every other reformer I
know, shouldn't change Riis. even If

"roaring follies" is one Of the things
Mr.. Steffen's subject would 'denounce,

Ali the world knows of this voyage,

town and directly above the river,
down which the little feet sailed at
the beginning of its voyage. Here is
the old convent exactly as when Col
