On ai living at tho home ol Mis Couover, Tuesday afternoon the guests went received nt the door by Mm, Conovei's little daughter, Ha.nl, who was assisted by Edna Clone and Ethic Gather. After the ladies had removed their wiaps, their attention was at traded to the ticket olllcn where Mrs Conovei's son, Haloid, was doing duty as ticket agent.

This is no oidiwify cMMii-iuii coach and et there .must he something commonplace, this is in the shape of a newsboy, who being thiionlj male on the coach was made much of by the ladies, needless to saj he llirte t abominably. When the train halted at a little stali.iu a vei old lady bomlul her willi iliuais t nice of both newshoy and conductor, -ho told them she was going to see her daughter. Things wuituioothily un til the conductor dicoveied sho had neither ticket nor money, but seeing sympathy iu tho faces of the passengers ho decided to take up a collodion, their. sympathy however did not extend as far as their pocket book, so tho poor lady was put oil at tho next station, much to tho disgust of tho newsboy. At tho next station they had twenty juinutcs for lunch, following tho di rections of tho conductor, thoy found the lunch couutee and sat down for a hasty meal. The ladies tarried so long at tho lunch counter, that their coach left them. This ended tho excursion party. Tho house was boautifuly and tasteftily decorated with carnations and ferns, music was also a feature of the afternoon's entertainment.
