ed into little congenial groups, spend.
ing the time before the auspicious mo-
ment in conversation, plying the hon
ored young guest with queries about
her long and delightful voyage across
continent and two oceans to gay Paree
whence Mdslle. Gras came to our city.
At last. at a signal the guests were
surprised at seeing the little daughter
of Mrs Watson enter the drawing
room which was a bower of palms,
pOtted maidenhair, and yellow chry-
santhemums
She was dressed as a little fairy i'm
gauzy yellow tule, her pretty little
gown caught up with yellow chrysan-
themums, wreath of smaller ones up
on her hair.
This little fairy godmother advanced
and kneelng, held out beautiful bas-
ket to the Iair young bride-elect cover
ed with tulle, its tall handle tied with
| huge airy bows of the same.
This represented the combined gifts
Of many warm friends, whom, doubt
less the dainty French maiden will
long remember in her far away con-
tinental home across the seas.

tiful silk lined basket nestled my
Rad of dainty offerings typical SOU
venirs of the islands predominating, al
though few friends had preferred to
lovingly contrive tempting lingerie,
embroidering by hand many exquisite
gifts.
after round of merriment and mild
affectionate banter, not without
twinge of regret at having so soon
to lose this lovely girl, the hostess and
her guests repaired to the lanai for re-
freshments which were served at
small tables decorated with lace
cloths and chrysanthemums, amid
bower of ported palms, hanging bas-
kets, and ferns.

in the refreshments, the dainty sand

in the shape of hearts. Among those
