bounded on the east, or rising, by a
sumptuous dinner, on the west, or sit

supper. Sandwiched in between these
joyful boundaries was a charming
stretch of sociability which later
was aggravated into fascinating
dance by the sweet music emanating
from John Roberts violin. After the
merriment subsidized and the throng
dispersed this popular couple was i'm
mensely pleased to find their home
strewn with crystal gifts of rare beauty
and usefulness including some pieces
of costly cut glass.
