chairs, waved handkerchiefs and cried
"bravo." We wish time and REGISTER

report as this entertainment merits.
The walkers are all entitled to indiyldu-
al notice-especially the accomplished
little lady and champion pedestrienne,
Miss Won Blumen.

TuR LEAP YEAR PARTY
on Friday evening was one of the most
recherche affairs Bellaire ever got up.
The papers have given the credit of this
social To the ladies OF the Hecla and
Sub-Rosa clubs, which is doing injustice
TO those who managed 1t. The only
connection either OF those clubs had
with it was the fact that it was held IN
the HeCla club room. The ladies had
two OF ]. Freese's splendid hacks to con-
vey their gentlemen to the hall. K. J.
Garrard furnished the supper, which was
perfect success. Fowler's orchestra
won great praise for their part in furnish
ing such excellent music. During the
evening a few OF the members OF the
"Silver Hook" Glee Club, who were
present, treated the crowd TO some OF
their choicest music. In short, IL would
be hard 10 imagine pleasantor even
ing than was spent there. Among so
many elegant tOilettes it would be hard
To discriminate, but as it seems the style
we must mention one OF two. Most OF
the gentlemen were dressed IN the con-
ventional black suits with white vest.
Cleo. Grafton varied this with light
pants, and hair and moustache powder
ed faultiessly. Jack Kelley also wore
light pants. Those present were Misses
Emma Cochran, Jennie Kelley, Mary
Garrard, Dora Moore, Belle Mel
lor, Lilly Kirkpatrick, Halle Naylor
Fanny Battelle, Ella Brodie, Annie and
Nellie Hoge, Mollie Barnhill, Annie and
Ella Miller, all OF Bellaire. Messrs.
