A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.-One OF the most
delightful Germans ever witnessed in Rich
mond was given last evening at Singer
Halle by number of charming and mot to
speak in q too businesS-like manner) en-
terprising young ladies. In contradistinc-
ton to the Young Ladies' Club, or from q
spirit OF modesty, the affair was called the
"Spinsters' German"; and there could not
have been greater misnomer, for the hall
presented scene Of youth, beauty, and
grace bewitching to behold.
The greatest credit must be accorded the
young ladies for the success Of the affair.
1t was perfect in every appointment. The
hall had been, with the valuable assistance
of Mr.. Charles L. Seigel, tastefully deco
rated with flags, banners, and streamers.
The music, under the leadership OF Pro-
fessor Kessnich, was good, and the walters
in attendance most courteous. TO mention
the charming young ladies present (they
were all belles) would be an endless task.
The leader OF the German land we forbear
mentioning his name for fear Of shocking
that young gentleman's modesty) performed
the arduous duty assigned him gracefully,
Systematically, expeditiously, and to the
satisfaction of all.
The lady managers of the occasion were
Mrs. Bradley II. Johnson, Mrs. Edward
Christian, Mrs. Edgar Garnett, and Mrs:
DR.. Crenshaw.Ss
The Spinster's German was preeminently
a success, and its pleasant recolections will
long be cherished in the memories OF all
participants.

CHURCH SoCIABLE-A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
The congregations OF st. James and the
Moore Memorial churches had sociable in
the lecture-room OF the former last night.
There was large attendance Of the men,
bers and their friends. There was an
abundance OF fragrant tea, coffee, chocolate,
with most delicious sandwiches and other
refreshments, and the ladies We'd with each
other in attention to their guests. But the
most pleasant part OF the occasion was the
delightful converse and social intercourse
OF the membership. This is by far the most
agreeable way OF introducing the members
and OF perpetuating the friendships thus
formed. They should be held by all churches,
and the more often the better.
