revelation. One girl there was who
seemed to have stepped from some old
daguerreotype. Others there were,
who were equally as striking. Several
gentlemen recalled all the pictures
we had ever seen of the gallants Of
colonial days. They were there IN

ruffled and lace trimmed linen, broad
buckled slippers and powdered wigs.
The old songs we're sweet and feei-
ingly sung. The orchestra was we'll

thought our new president had come

who he was?
