srssnrx.-rhs managers Of the ball

SrNsBtx.-Ths managers Of tho ball
Of Young America Engine Company,
No. 2, which takes place tonight At
Odd Fellows Hall, Virginia, have, as
a favor, requested Of the representa-.
tives Of the press, who will be present
as invited guests, to make no partiou-
lar descriptive mention of toilets worn
by ladies on the occasion. Their rea-
son for so doing Is the fact that Jen-
kinsizlng ut balls not only tends to
excite III feeling and Jealousy among
the female portion Of the community,
but also induces q desire to outd0 each
other In the matter Of dress, reckless
Of expense. Having always opposed
this silly, demoralizing idea OF Jen-
kinsizing descriptions Of ladies' dresses
on such occasions, we cannot but ap-.
plaud this sensible idea on the part OIL
that company. Any lady who goes 70
4 ball or public gathering dressed on
purpose to have some ~f1at-headed Jen-
kins describe her toilet. and parade the
same In public print, Is not worth DC
scrtbing.
