through the red shades sent soft
reflection, that made the table most
enhancing picture. Covers were laid
for twcnty-four, and promptly at
$50 the young folks took their places.
The artistic decorations of the rooms
made a most fitting background for
the dainty gowns worn by the charm
ing hridc-clcct and her maids, and
as one gentleman expressed himsrt
"thcy all looked too pretty for
words was no doubt the sentiments
.of the other young men present.
