the continent, and rendered much val

lace. The entire front and train was of
solid hand embroidery done in Switzer
land. She wore a large hat and white
cloth cape to match the costume and
carried bride's roses. Mr. Mitchell,

One of the regrets ran as follows:
"Your invitation came today,
Accept our hearty thanks we pray.
With spook and owl we fain would mix.
Fain would wo view the goblin's tricks.
Nor should wo fear e'en witches screech
If Happy Hollow wo might reach.
Love to you all! Great joy be thine!
Sorry we may not fall in line."
One joung man, in prosiacally accept
ing, plead that he refrained from drop
ping into verso as ho didn't know where
he might land in that case. His young
est sister, .vho is not yet "out,' sent in
this pathetic little screed:
Oh, fairies! Stop thy dance and bring
This tear stained message to thy King,
To tell that I one year must wait,
According to decree of Fate,
Before it is my lot to see
Great Happy Hollow's gaiety.
Although I share not in the fun,
I'm still their frienk. M II ."
