RECEPTION TO MISS CARSON.

Ladies of Wesley Monumental

A very delightful affair will be the
reception with which the ladies of Yves

this evening for Miss Matte Carson. 1t
is desired to give an opportunity to
meet Miss Carson to all those in the
city who may desire to do so before her
departure for Cuba, and, while it is re-
GREETED that so many people are out of
town, the occasion will no doubt be a
very pleasant one. No invitations have
been issued, and it will be an entirely
informal gathering. 1t will take place
in the basement room of the church,
beginning at S:45 o'clock
Miss Carson, who has been visiting
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Carson,
for about six weeks, has been engaged
in missionary work for about ten years.
She was for part of the time in Mex
leo, and for the last two or three years
has been in Cuba. Her present post is

it IS doubtful whether these valuable
furs may be saved from the wreck
Early this morning the city was in
the clutches of tremendous doWnpour
that resemhled a tropical storm in the
rainy season. The place under the
huge glass dome was desired to show
to advantage the beautiful frocks.
The dome was supposed to be water
tight, but the downpour was so violent
that the water forced its way through
the crevices and fell onto the show
cases below like the playing of a fire
hose. The showcases are made of beY-
eled glass and the panes are Joined by
pickle-plated strips. Evidently the wa

strips and the glass
The attendants opened up the case
this morning and We're dismayed TO
see pool of water on the floor OF
every case. A glance, was sufficient
to show that the gowns were damp
and bedraggled, and in many instances,
the delicate colors had faded Spots
and stains showed on the velvets and
satins, and the 100000 show was a
total ruin
Marvel Estieu was sent for and after
examining the gowns he said few
might be saved and that the real faces
and jeweled trimming would not be
destroyed hopelessly. Gable dispatches
concerning the loss were sent to the
Partisan dressmakers Many women
who visited the fair had purchased the
gowns, which are previous styles. They
We're to be delivered in the autumn.
To-day's rainstorm Cancelled these con-
tracts. Not alone was there the dis
play of modern gowns, but some his
torical dresses were also shown.
One is a well authenticated ball
gown worn by the Marquse Dubarry
and another is a day gown accredited
to the Princess de Lanballe. For ex-
hibition purposes these gowns of his
toric beauties are priceless. Then there
were military coats and mems fur
lined coats that also suffered. One,
a mans coat. was lined with Russian
sable and $4,000 was the price set on
it. To-day this lining looks like the
fur of a wet cat. Some of the lead
ing Partisan tailors had exhibits that
were also spoiled absolutely.
The principal losers are; Redfern,
six dresses ruined; Paquin, three
dresses; Laferriere, two dresses; Cal
lot, five dresses, fur coats and muffs
and boas; lie Bauvier, six dresses;
Storch, three dresses and two nantes:
Samaritane, two dresses.
