Night bent down to kiss her fair young cheek, and lost Its gloom in the waved tresses of her hair! Mysterious and shadowy as a midsummer's eve, electric as a fastly clouding sky, filled with the endless dreams af endless summer, fragrant with the breath of a rose-scented wind, man's gaze travels from the promise of her Hps, past the sunlight dancing in her eyes, and dwelling on her crown of midnight hair lingers content. "Fair Tresses man's Imperial race ensnare, .And beauty draws us with a single hair."

After visiting their friends and seeing as much of Richmond as was possible without guidance by local committees, the merchants and industrial leaders with the Cleveland trade excursion left the ci.y yesterday afternoon for Greenville. The visitors extolled the reception they had received at other points, mentioning with particular satisfaction the hearty reception accorded them at Sidney, Ohio, where they were met with automobiles and shown the advantages of that place. Reciprocate Reception. In the evening, the visitors reciprocated by showing movie films depicting civic and industrial life in Cleveland and in thanking the hospitality of the Ohio city. The 6cant attention accorded the visiting delegation was a topic of general discussion in business circles yesterday. The impression prevails that the city showed the visitors little courtesy. When the delegation arrived at the Pennsylvania station, they looked high and low for a reception committee. Finally a few of them broke away and began to ask pedestrians directions In the city.
