NEWARK, Nov 10, 1872
Opening Of the Splendid Fashionable AoUs-
ments in Netcdrk
DEAR BENNETT
Permit me TO give you short notice Of a party,
the first of the season, that came off last evening,
which think will be quite interesting to your nume-
rous readers in this city.
The party was given by Mr.. An, a retired
Philadelphia jeweller, who has just moved into
new and splendid house, situated IN the lower part
of Broad street Mr.. A. and his accomplished lady
have the honor of "leadng off in the fashionable
season." Mrs A. did the honors in a very quiet and
agreeable manner. She was very genteely dress
ed, in rich light silk. Mr.. AS easy and gentle
manly manners were observed by all, and highly
appreciated.
There were about two hundred present, very ma
nv from your city. Amongst them l observed the
tall and majestic figure of Miss A. niece Of our
host; aso her beautiful sister Mrs. r. both dress
ed in black, with bright black eyes, and hair
Whose glossy black to shame might bring
The plumage Of the ravens wing.
Miss NJ, OF White street, was by many consi-
dered the belle of the party. She was dressed in
white, with her hair very neatly adjusted, and orna-
mented with beautiful silver wreath, and was very
fortunate in taking captive the heart of Mr.. r.,
which pleasure Mr.. X. would not have had but for
the circumstance of certain Mr. who shall be
nameless, having been detained in New York by
sickness.
Miss F., of New York, created quite sensation
amongst the Newark beaur She wore white skirt
with black bodice, and such ringets the god of
| love might choose Tor bowsrngs and they fell down
on a neck of such fautess whteness as might Gre
| ate jealousy in bust OF Venus, done in Parian
| marble She received the attentions of Mr.. J. of
Broad street, to whom rumor has given the very
amiabe character of being fond Of his ma. He
sometimes has outbreak of patriotism, and talks
much of serving his country in the capacity OF
midshipman. But his al love is in all cases suffi-
GENTLY strong to induce him to stay with his ma.
His long hair and elegant manners reminded me of
Burns address to ApOllo:-
o, wad some power the gftie gle us
To ourselves others u.s.
1t wad from monte blunder free u.s.
Miss J. and Miss C. of New York, were very
much admired by all present. Mr. G. of Washing
ton street, New York, there with his BRIDE who

and
| Eyes that send soft magic to the soul
| Cheeks touched with the deep cornelian dye
i Lips beautiful from words that roll

| The Misses 8 If N street, have strong cnims to
| the title of belle of the evening The eldest was
dressed in black with short sleeves and long white
gloves. She is splendid girl, and made many
heart ache, as she around her gances from the
kissing witchery of her bright black eyes. She is
as amlable as she IS pretty.
None knew her but to love her
None name her but to praise.
The younger, as gentle as the tmid fawn with
face as bright as vision In a fa,ry's dream, where
thousand little graces dspor themselves, hap
PLY well provided for through the attentions OF Mr.
S. of b. street, young man quite celebrated for his
strong attachment 10 children, which, of course,
makes him quite popular with the married ladies,
and the aforesaid Mr. e. with whose attentions she
was apparently much pleased, much to the annoy
ance Of Mr.. s. who seems to occupy the first place
in her affections, at least wishes to- In short, she il
| perfect sylph:-
"Her face is like the lilly,
| That wells the vestal planets hue
Her eyes two beamlets from the moon,
Set hoati g in the wekin blue"
She and her sister are not much celebrated in
fashionable circles, but they destined to bril-
liant career.
The Elizabethtown ladies' fully sustained the repu-
tatOn OF their delightful village. Mrs r OF Park
| Place, much admired for her sweet face and
| quiet unobrusive manners She had the honour of
| ur. II 8 arm. ! was introduced 20 Mrs. s. who
| has the reputation of making poetry occasionally
She has some genius should think; at least, the
| centrcities OF genius.
| The dancing commenced rather late, but was kept
| up with spirit until the company dispersed.
| Although an old man, my head frosted by nearly
| seventy winters, am constrained to acknowledge
| that woman! whatever our age-our disposition
thy beauty is the charm that binds to thy will
lis in vain TO wrestle with this conqueror, for it
the impulse of nature II agreeable, will keep an
| eye on fashionable movements in this place, and
