She received in the front hall of her beautiful home on lower Main Street. To each of her guests she extended a hearty handshake of welcome, aud Mrs. Fannie Mat tin Carstarpben, who stood on her right, showed them to the cloak room and from thence to the frout parlor, where the presents were ar ranged on a table. These were numerous and beautiful, attesting the love and esteem in which Mrs. Martin is held. "After the assembling of the guests conversation in general was begun and much merriment was indulged in, chasing dull care away. The hostess was in one of he" happiest moods, looking the picture of health and happiness in her rosy dimpled cheeks and sparkling eyes, speaking words of cheer to each one Then all were invited in the dining room to enjoy a snmptuons feast; the table was aglow in cut glass, s.lver and electric lights The beautiful cut glass bowl in the cen ter was filled with various fruits it stooned with grapes from Malaga. The favors were yellow daffodils; the design of the plaee cards the village gossips was very cleverly executed by our Young Artist. After greatly enjoying the feait, all repaired to the parlors to engage in the guessing contesr. All were very bnsy for awhile writing the answers to the fifteeu questions. The answers were placed in bands of the judges, who soon returned and presented Mrs.Watters with the consolation—a box of candy, which she was Jeque«ted to band around |to the others. When this was done there was not much consolation in it for her. Then the l»ooby was presented to Mrs. Ewell. This was a little green box profusely wrapped and tied with "yt»l!er" ribbon. She accepted it aud was told that it con tained a penny. She said that booby would be o treasured grain in the snnds of time. All were so lively that some of the girls cs.ked the others if they would not favor them with a few figures of the tur key trot. The replv' was that it was rather old or too new —it hnd not got to colle'ge before they went, or went after they left, but the three girls on the sofa oat-laughed all other girls. Then came the hour for biddiug the hostess good night and to wish her mauy happy renrns of the last day of the first month of every year with thanks for such a royal enter tainment. What a beautiful spirit to look away from self for the joy and pleasure of others!
