S F. M. to f' In the upper left hand corner appeared the words "When tnc wives are away,' and the concluding line of the cnticing couplct read: "Thc men will play,' and this was in the lower right hand corner. Naturally all those who were favored with these novel summons accepted service with alacri. ty and undisguised joy, for the Ed. wards affairs have n distinctive pop. alarity ar,ong his friends. and Mir. Edwards is prince of entertainers. However. the most had unfeelingly sent invitations to the wives of some of the gentlemen, and realizing with woman's intuition, or somewhat viv. i'd memories of the past, that the feminine presence would be "de trop," sent their "rcgrcts" in epistles that were either thinly yelled with sar. casm, or were puntua,cd with pungent wit.
 lt was eOngenial gathering of kindred souls that played cards until II o'clock when an nppetizing colla. tion was served on the "al fresco" plan. In tac battle with the paste. boards, Mir. C. r. Joslin proved to be the chief mourner, and he was pro. sented by Mayor Goldwatcr with a consolation prize suitable as depos. itory for his tears, accompanied by impressive words of condolcnce. Then the guests returned to the tables and dallied with the cards until late hour, when an inventory showed that the citizens of Prescott had contrib. uted liberally to the support of the army.
