GATHERING OF OLD
ST. LOUIS FAMILIES.
All afternoon there was a steady stream
OF callero at the Chouteau mansion. and the
gathering smacked more OF a big family
party than it did OF a formal function.
though the gentle courtesy Of the times de-
manded a form of department and de-
meanor which might appear as being stin
in these latter days. Notwithstanding. an
air OF perfect cordially and sympathy per-
vaded the entertainment of Lafayette.
That the family feature of the reception
Should have been in the ascendant was quite
natural when the fact is considered that
most st. Louis people were then related by
blood or marriage, and the worthy persons
who were not connected with the central

to everyone.
