hung Ger the minds of participants no sorrow
affected the engaging spirits. All seemed mer-
rily engaged; some in soft conversations, 9TH

dance. The evening was delightful, and
throngs of ladies' graced the Hall with their

seemed all glee and merriment, and much did
I enjoy to see them so generally pleased. AL.

to see her so agreeable, SO particularly happy
in her sprightliness to each and every one. Miss
N. L. nobIy portrayed in each of her traits the
excellent disposition off, Louisiana Creole
she much enjoyed herself, if actions speak.
Miss-whose bewitchiDg countenance cam
not be otherwise reputed, incurred the admira~
ton of all; that beautiful bouquet she would
not dispose Of, although my entreaties were
great and persuasive. immediately opposite
was Miss F. W.R. Of Red Stick, who clearly
evinced with what agreeableness she was en-.

A. Rs Of Manchac, around whom ! noticed
several fascinating gentlemen, eagerly advoca~
ting their respective claims to the next set. Miss
l.. r., also of Manchac, was noted for her per-
sonal attraction, her unbiased pIeasingness tens
dered to every one. Occupying rather a seclu-
ded nook of the Ballroom was the fairy and
lovely Miss Nj. Pr, surrounded by a host
of admirers, herself the centre of attraction.
My regards were next involuntarily attracted
by the winning smiles and graceful movements
of Miss E. B., and certainly the melting glan-
ces that flashed from her dark ~lustrous eyes
seemed fully worthy Of the admiration they
called forth. SHANGHAI.
