The agent, Mr. Berry, WAS courteoua and affable, but deolared himself unable to cope with the Hardware's own representative, who proved of infinite assistance to the agent of tho "Favorite" in the exhibition of this popular range. The millinery openings last week were well attended and tho handsome lines of fresh, new trimmings and elegant pattern bats, delighted the fair visitors who thronged the apartments.

Tho plan of enter tainment was exceedingly novel, and possessed a charm of originality, characterising tho fair hostesses. Canis were passed to the guests con taining the titles of familiar Bongs, the guests lielng requested to illustrate the "songs tn pic tures," which they did, the result proving that Seneca has many artists In embryo. After tho illustrations were done, thoy were all gathered and pinned to the curtains, walls, ete , and tho guests were required to guess tho title of tho song from the picture. The result was a tie be tween Misses Sue Thompson and Maud Hopkins, a draw giving tho prize, a pretty piece of bric-a brac, io Miss Thompson.

We have been told that the three quickest ways of transmitting newe washy the telegraph, telephone and tell-a-woiran. This was forcibly demonstrated last week during tho deathly silence of the phone. To illustrate: We heard one dear good woman remark that she "hadn't been visiting this summer until her phone was ont outj" Another innocently . marked that there was more visiting done las?, week than In months. As a result thoro was a monopoly In the "toll-a-woman" system last week. We tako this opportunity for extending to fhn ".ri?warc Comuiuiy our thanks for remember ing us so handsomely laat week.
