tails of congress, Tie goes to Wash
ngton In few days and the recep-
ion was given him by Mrs. Bartlett,
md Il was certainly an occasion TO
be long remembered as one OF the
functions yet given I'm the
Bartlett mansion. The great room,
Or series of rooms on the lower floor
were crowded, hut there was plenty
Of room for the guests in the spacious
halls.
II was an affair where the ladies
were invited to attend in shirt waists
and the men in their ordinary attire.
Here is copy of the clever invita-
ton which was sent out on unbleach-
ed muslin:
when you see this rag, don't turn
up your nose
But dress yourself in your plainest
clothes.
The dear, sweet girls as judges may
come,
The boys have tasks to do for fun.
The brothers and Others may come at
eight
And everyone may stay quite late.
The best performed task will get Il
prize;
So try to win it if you are wise.
