attend the ball and supper gwen py the lauies "
Jefferson City for the benefit OF LlnWood Looge,
and will long look back to that occasion as one OF
the best enjoyed of our lives. The rooms were
crowded with the fair ladies Of that suburb ana OF
the Garden District, and there was no lack OF {
beaux to keep them company. The ladies, VINO l
had the affair in hand had decorated the rooms
most beautifully with flags, flowers, eyergreens'
and the different masonic emblems, all so tastefully
interviewer that it was ofitseK worth much to see.
Dancing commenced at an early hour, ana
polkas, waltzes and quadrilles were indulged in
with true Southern gnsto. We shall never forget
the many beautiful faces and fairy forms which we
saw amid the mazes Of the dance that evening
they were bewitching enough to turn the head OF
much older and more dignifed individual than we
pretend to be, and what is more, we are sure that
we were not alone in our admiration, for we saw
| more than dozen poor fellows who had evidently |
| lost their hearts,.
/ At IL O'Clock the band struck up march, and
Esupper was announced. We have attended many
4suppers, and as we have a weakness that way,
Smust confess that we have enjoyed many but this
sbeat all we ever saw. Everything that refined
Rtaste could desire, which market Afforded, was
there spread in profusion and the guests partook
swithout stint Of everything. .=st
Is Under such circumstances it will not surprise our
eaders that this affair has left pleasant impress
Ssion upon our minds and that we now believe that
she ladies of Jefferson City, when they originated
he enterprise, intended more to confer an obilga-
ion upon those who attended, than to raise money
tsor the Lodge. However, be that as it may, sure
] I've are, that they succeeded in doing both.
