the Season.
This Refers to the Calico Ball at

The calico ball at Pixies Opera-house last
night was just what it was intended to be-
the most brilliant affair Cincinnati has wit
messed for years. There was not jam, moi
so many in fact as the managers desired tc
see present. But what was lost in numbers
was made up in the beauty, brillancy and
character of the assemblage, and at the high
price charged ($5 per ticket quite hand
some sum was realized.
The ball was given by the society manag.
ing the Protestant Industrial School, the
names of whose officers we published yes,

BY half-past o'clock the company began
to assemble, and by II the largest number
of the evening was present. Although the
affair was in the first place announced as a
''caico ball, the dresses embraced all va
rieties of handsome and costly materials.
There were, however, many calico dresses,
prettily made, and the universal opinion
was that the most beautiful y-arrayed ladies
on the floor were those who wore silicias,
organdies, lawns and cambrics. These were
prettily-lnade and gave scope for originality
in their deyising, which could not be the
case with the expensive dresses made
strictly in accordance with the require
mcnts Of fashion and dressmakers' taste.
Dancing commenced a little after 8
o'clock, and was kept up till the last OF the

THE LEADERS OF WASHINGTON SOCIETY. -
Years ago Lord Lyons, then the English
Minister imported coachman. He was
tirst-class man, and it was not long before
he was well known. Soon afterward he be-
gan trading horses, and made q great deal
of money. Following that, he went into
the grocery business in what is known as
the old First Ward of Washington, and
accumulated more money. He married,
and a son came to his family. When the
father died he left plenty Of money, which
his son inherited, succeeding him in the
grocery business. The son was too proud,
however, to stick to it, and he gave it up
and invested his money in other ways
About the time the English coachman
came here, French cook, direct from
France, arrived here, and secured employ
ment with the French Minister. He also
was married and, had three or four daugh-
ters Like the coachman, he amassed a
great deal of money, and increased it by
fortunate real estate speculatons. He
owned several squares of property in the
neighborhood, since bought up by Hallet
Kilbourne's real estate pool.
|" The son Of the coachman married the
daughter of the cook, and they are to-day
the leaders of Washington society.
