weather last fall was just right for the
ripening Of trees and plants and the
weather during the winter has been

same peroration "horrid. lovely man.
., for a mani" The singing was pa
thetic because of the unavoidable dis
cord occasioned by wants and weeping.
A disturbing yet pleasing feature
was sprung on the convention near the
close, when a horrid man applied for
admission. After hasty adjustment
OF curls and toggery he was admitted
and received with open arms by the
excited spinters upon the announcement
that he had with him a machine which
would convert aged women into charm
ing asses, irrespective of eorpulency
or thinness, wrinkles, broken limbs,
glass-eyes or wigs. The machine was
of the hopper type Many of the
spnsters jumped in. Some were rem
ovated as desired. some proved SO
tough that the iron Jaws had no effect.
while a few, very few bear in mind.
were so tender that the machine tore
them into shreds. One of the latter
happened to be Tribune representa-
tive, hence this incomplete report of the
convention. Suffice it to say, 1t was
real success in accordance with intent.
The costumes worn by the convention
attendants were not only antique but
simply amazing and mirth-producing.
All the colors of the rainbow were
noticeable in the lowered and striped
dresses which were of all shapes and
lengths with ample flounces and rib
bons. TO picture the hats worn with
their nifty trimmings and curls pro-
truding from every angle, would battle
the greatest descriptive writer of this
or any age.
The cast consisted of about twenty
Rebekahs and three or four brother
Odd Fellows, and much hidden talent
was uncovered
