The Hon.

The 'hop' which took pace last night was
pated in for some time.
After long absence, returning to Alrx,n.
d!in i,f this particular occasion, We feel forced
To acknowledge ourselves amply repaid and J.,
Congratulate the com ui!tce upon their adIuira
bic Arrangements and man lgement. Ehe hon
was essentially young folks affair gotten IN
hy the young men Of Alexandria, and ref .rr,
credit ul,ou them, The rum Was well chosen
large, well ven lated and Well lighted, auj
pos cs~cl il most delightful q 'or, which every
daucer KNOWS bears largely upon their ELI ~.
| mentS. Ine mn-ic %as X'*lent and perform
ed by a ban | brought from Washington M
pain- " cxrcnsc seemed spared.
We could not bur he struck by the array Of
beauty presented S far as we saw there Was
not one Iplu y face in the room, aud the ey.
preston III joy that res ed On every face would
nave made The plaincst attractive While all
there l,ok well, thAre we're those present 1T
uuc ,lnlnon beauty, and We thought Alexandria
should well BE- .proud of her girls. Among
"Alrxandlias own that, We particularly adj
niired w4re: Miss f., pe,u, iarly, yet. most De-
cqullngly attirei 10 ,placs CARLETON with scarlet
trimmings; Miss s, s.. ~ pick silk with whit,
was lOrciy Contrast with her, flesh. fairness:
Miss f.. being perfect brunette, while Miss
NJ. s., iu blue silk AMI white, was universally
aimirtd, her beauty uale So charwlug by The
pcrttc Inconsistencies with which it was Worn;
white operdrc>s; Misses L. aud L 10 white, and
wonder amid such a c)teric, there is one
hearl-whole man in Alexandria ......,
The strangers aud visitors bore their part
we'll Among thcm Miss G., OF c., seem.
cd most admired, arraycd in white and
black tarletou, wn,ch was most becoming
| to her qu@cnIy FORM Everywhere We heard
praises, III which We join, of her beauty
Of face, form and m!nl. Miss NJ, Of Maryland,
was chaperoned by Mrs R. D., IN blue silk
ADD lace. B 9TH chaneruncd and chaperone We're
greatly admired. Miss d. in blue and Miss T.,
also in blue, bore the palm for fairness OF nm
plcxiou; both much admired There were others
deserving remark, but cur HANDS were 50 full
With thssc already mentioned We were obliged
to frrego mapy lntrnductions we desired Our
old friend Mss F., Of Georgetown, lent her
presence to the as,rmblage. So much had been
heard Of her that when i; WAS murmured she
had arrived great in crest was manifested to
see her enter the room SO As to have first sight
OF her. Alter some delay, just as the band
struck up ,yaitz, she danced out Il mass Of
gauzy whitencss, by the side of her handsome
escort, vino, Immediately throwing his arm in
positions, whlrcd her into the maze of co!ors
Miss F., though beautiful, we were sorry to
see, really looked less well than We ever re-
member to have seen her, from having her
hair Ell p0utlre IL .r own dark hair is far more
becoming. There is one thing that sadd.ns the
attendant upon balls who seeks real beauty and
that Is the way in which the accessories of art
are used. powder, crayon, &c, to marvellous
exteut. and gives to all the same inanimate
expression. .,......
We must not forget to m .ntion the married
ladies who always give tone to society Among
those who appeared to erjpy themselves last
night we noticed Mrs d. T., Mrs. s Mrs. f.,
Mrs. G., Mrs. NJ, Mrs. n aud Mrs. B ;, also
Mrs. s., u bride, aud for then, We can say, that
if the young girls, grow into such women as
they AlcXardrlas' daughters would soou be he
wives, hounred and beloved Of some other place
