| T.. y. Blanchard in handsome costumes
OF the Louis XIV. period. As the long
line OF gay and fantastic figures wound in
and out in the evolutions of the march,
Wild guesses we're made at the identities
disguised ia the gsrbs of Colonial danes,
| Puritan maids, Indian chiefs, court testers
and bewilderIng array of other curious
personages who were once IN a while be-
trayed by Characteristic motion as we'll
known testers OF Randolph in the 10th

gave up in despair, convinced that. if he
were not 1.-THE stranger from New York, y
he must be a stranger from Royalton,
/ Bethel or Northfield Another mystery
