and the fete was over.
A number of private entertainments
were given during the fetes, and
among these an evening affair by the
! Embassy of one OF tho South American
republics in honor of our Secretary OF
State, Robert Lansing. The musicians
were already installed, and the guests
were on the qui vive for the arrival OF
