zed out in the same manner
till all were alight with tiny jets of flame; three rows, the first or
highest following the cornices all round the court: these were of a golden
hue; while some distance lower down was a second silver-colored row, then
the last, ranged just under the parapet of the lagoon, were golden like
the first. The mingled light of all three shone on the dark waters of the
lagoon, the gondolas skimming silently to and fro, and the electric
launches gliding swiftly onward.

And the great dome of the Administration Building looked grandly beautiful
with its line of flaming torches about its base, its triumphal arches of
glittering fire above, and the golden crown sparkling on its summit. Great
search-lights were flaming out from the ends of the Main Building, making
visible the lovely seated Liberty in the MacMonnie's fountain which was
foaming and rustling; and suddenly the two electric fountains sent up tall
columns of water which changed from white to yellow, from that to purple,
then to crimson, and from that to emerald green.

"Oh, it is just too beautiful!" exclaimed Rosie, "too lovely for anything.
I feel as if I could never weary of gazing upon it."

"No, nor I," murmured Evelyn in low, moved tones. "I never imagined

They sat for some time gazing upon the enchanting scene, then rose, and
still keeping together, wandered on till they reached the wooded island.

The scene there was lovelier than in the daylight. Little glass cups of
various colors held tiny lights of wick in oil, giving a charming
appearance to the scene, and there were thousands of visitors moving here
and there among them.

So did our party from the _Dolphin_, for a half hour or more; then they
returned to Midway Plaisance, and finding that the moon had risen, sought
the Ferris Wheel, and ascending in it had a beautiful view of the White
City, the lake beyond, and the surrounding country. They made the circuit
several times, then leaving the wheel, wandered slowly through the
fairylike scene that lay between them and the Peristyle, where the young
men who lodged on shore bade good-night and the others entered their
waiting boat and returned for the night to their
