In his surprise and embarrassment he arose, however, and regaming his equilibrium, invited his guests to seats, and, realizing the situation, enjoyed the joke hugely. The evening was spent in jollity and mirth, interspersed with music and song, and after partaking of some very clegant refreshraents the greater part of thé company took a trin on the light fantastic toe.
