lunch with her they had their feast
according to custom on such occasions,
at a late hour, Soon after this the
sand man slipped in unawares, took

Jack Robinson, seven little girls we're
in the land OF Nod. Those who par
took Of Miriam's hositality were

Mexico's glorious Fourth is oyer for
this year. A large crowd gathered
In Hardin Park and appeared to
thoroughly enjoy the entertainments
provided for them. Edwards &
Whites show seemed to be the lead
ing feature OF the days amusements,
as the had a packed house at every
performance. Mr.. Barnum had bet
ter look to bis laurels else he will iiud
himself a side issue merely, as we
hear that EdWard's s. White will
shortly go on the road with their
wonderful assortment OF performers.
Misses Dearlng and Durkee, who are
visiting here from Shelbyyille, H.,
were honored with the latest thing
out in the way Of amusement on Mon
day night. We say night advisedly,
for it was an all-night session, being
a bunking party at Mrs. Claybrook's
hospitable mansion. A pillow, a
lunch and not too many years are all
requirements for this enchanting
form Of amusement. On this coca
sion the pillow could have been dis
pensed with, as the midnight feast
and conversation occupied mnst Of the
time, while the remainder was devoted
to patriotism. The latter took the
usual form Of many f~ire-crackers and
much noise. They all had a fine time.
IN HONOR OF MRS. FRANK PARKER
KELsOE.
From the Fulton Sun.
Miss Esther Henderson this after
noon, from four to seven O'Clock, at
her home on Market street, enter
tanned thirty-eight young ladies in
honor of Mrs. Frank Parker Kelsoe,
Of Mexico, who is Miss Henderson's
guest.
1t was intended to entertain the
guests on the beautiful lawn, but the
rain put an end to that intention
soon after noon. The afternoon was
delightfully."- spent in playing military
finch and in social conversation. Each
table, and there were eleven Of them,
represented a military fort. Each
fort was designated by a flag on
which was printed the name of the
fort it represented. Flags were used
Instead Of score cards. The winner
Of each game was given a small flag.
Delicate refreshments, consisting OF
brick ice cream, frozen In the shape
Of hearts, cake and punch were served.

amount Of gossip was talked that day
IL would take volumes to hold it, The
women together all day means that
everybOdy's affairs were thoroughly
canvassed. Only n man, Mr.. e r
Locke, ventured 10 show himself at
the seance, and be hurrledly left after

try to keep back the waters Of the At
lantie as to attempt 10 stem the tide
Of feminine gossip which threatened
