Cosmopolitan Club, which took place

signal for the grand march was given,
over eighty couples 10y actual COUNT

partners, and those present might

as the list of dances was so varied
and lengthy as to compel even the
best and most persevering dancers to
skip a number or two. The dresses

| THE DECORATIONS.
In entering the hall the first object
which met the gaze was the greeting
"Welcone," in evergreens, over the
stage. which was itself draped in the
Stare and Stripes. Over the en-
trance was the device: "Cosmopoli.
tan Social Club" and below, in q
semi-circle, a cheery-looking "Merry
Christmas"-both in evsrgreens-
relieved by the Stars and Stripes.
Pier glasses surmounted by large
pictures and evergreen wreaths were
on either side, and from both sides
and ends extended garlands which
were gathered in a tasteful bunch in
the center of the ceiling. The eff.
feet of all these decorations,
added to the inspiriting music
and the sight of the gay
throng on the floor, was "per.
fectly Splendid" as many of the
ladies exclaimed at first sight, and
added not 4 little to the general en-.
joyment.
Dancing commenced at . o'clock,
sharp, and continued, with but about
ten minutes interruption for supper
until after 8 o'clock Thursday morn

1t was the most thoroughly enjoyable
social event which has ever occurred
in this city.
