The LeaP-year party, which we an
nOuneed in our last issue would take
place during the holidays, came of at
the. Hartford House on Tuesday night
of last week. The young ladies' were
the ones to send cards, and, with pleas
ure, the boys accepted. They assem-,
bled at Mrs. Bette Rowe's on the morn
ing previous to the night set for the &C.
cassiOn, and decided between them
selves the manner in which things
should be conducted. and'to whom
they should send cards. Their cards
were put into circulation in the even
ing, and the boys we're ''red-hot' in the
beliefOf their determination to make
the occasion a genuine success, which
is pronounced by all to be such. The
large dining-hall at the Hartford House
was procured to dance in, and then the
young ladies went to work in earnest,
and nicer feast of good things was
never placed before guests than was
prepared by the fair ones for this grand
affair.
The tickets requested thegentlemen
to call for them at o'clock, and but
little variation was made from theirre-
quest. AtabOut half,pastseyen O'Clock
they began to gather, and. in a short
time the lower rooms Of the hotel were
full to overlooking. The ladies booked
more beautiful than we had ever seen
them before; their eyes were sparkling
with delight. and their countenances
we're as bright as the noOn>day sun.
Their cheeks were Of cherry red when
in the act of asking the pleasure Of a
set with the young gallants. The boys
we're so delighted at the change Of pro-
granlme, that they faneied they were
in the land "where pleasure ever
reigns."
Dancing continued until about the
eleventh hour, when the ladies con-
Quoted their escorts to the feast pre-
paned for them, where ample justice
was done by all The Indies thinking
it their indispensable duty TO see that
their ''felloWs" received plenty, has
caused many to wish that their bread
receiver had been guaged for two. It
would be an almost endless task to
name the edibles, but everything known
to epicures wasthere, and,in great guam
tity. l...-- vi-, eEt.
