be but little time, now, be-
fore the host of interesting people
brought here by the legislature will be
on the way to their respective homes.

tinct void in the social life of the city
which has been enlivened by the pre-
sence of SO many lovely women and
distinguished men. Some will remain
for the grand opera. however, and many
new faces will be seen in the theater,
which have not been in town this sea

feminine delight of viewing beautiful
gowns, although minor considerations,
have their value in increasing the at
tendance.
