The full dress party given by the German
last evening, at Franzhsim's Hall, was one Of
the most eswelln and elegant social events
that has taken place in this city this season.
For two weeks it has been the absorbing
theme Of conversation in society circles, and
those who were known 70 be the invited
guests OF the club for the occasion, were the
objects Of envy among those not so favored.
The former hops given by the club have
been pronounced successes, but last night
fairly eclipsed anything ever attempted by
any former club or this one,
The expectations OF all were more than
CERTIFIED, and the memory OF last nights
pleasures will doubtless remain green spotin
the minds OF those who were present All the
little details had been carefully looked up
and provided for by committee consisting
OF Sam Harrison, George Baird and John
RiheldHiler, and those gentlemen are surely
TO be ComPlimented on The efficient manner
in which they attended to their duties while
the club can congratulate itself on having
displayed such excellent taste in It's selection
OF q committee.
Dancing was commenced about O'Clock
and until 1880 lanCers, polkas, ETC., occupied
the time. BY the tune the last named hour
arrived all expected were present and the
german was formed under the direction oil
Mr.. Sam Harrison, who was leader
for the evening. Mr.. Harrison was
assisted by Miss Carrie Rhodes, and his lead
ing proved very pleasant for all. When oil
were seated for the german they made a
brilliant aSsemblage OF "iair women
and brave men, There were stately
matrons whose handsome features seemed
as yet, unruiiled with care as the
rich black silks and satins they wore
true they did not dance, but they gazed will
an approving eye on the Others, and reflected
on the days when they also INDUCED in sucf
pleasures, There were pale maidens who's
eyes Wed in brightness with the jewels they
wore; clad In robes OF snowy cling
ing white, through the half-open sleeve
of which tho fair arms looked dOubly
fair, with yelled charms; whose white
gloYed hands suggested the beauty O
"the lily TINT toileth not, neither doth i
spin" There were other bright and beauti
full women, the dark-hued brunettes, In satin!
and silks, that had received the blush of the
paleSt pink roses, or caught the silYery hut
OF an unclouded blue sky Again there were
all the COlOrs OF the rainbow, and rs they
skinned over the floor the Combin
alton OF color, the musical rustic Of sill
and satin was enough to bewlder the aver
age man. Over their dark and their ShininE
light hair some had thrown for tho time, i
| light lleecy cloud while others wore nothing
to hide their proud aud shapely little head
but their braided tresses, The gentlemen
were In full dress and looked too elegant FOL
any use, but the ladies found them very
useful.
About midnight very appetizing supper
was laid out on coGy little iete.ietc tables by
Mrs Zegentelder, IN the discussion Of which
an hour was very pleasantly passed. At thu

TO describe the toilets Of each on
would be task that would require
more knowledge and courage than thu
average reporter has, There was satin, silk
velvet, br0cade, fleeCy inusllns and all 0the
variety offabrics dear to the feminine heart
The favors were really elegant and will form
handsome souyeniers OF the holiday hop, o
the German OF 1882. Natural How
ers were furnished in profusion, Nothing
was left undone, and where everything WA
so complete all were sure to enjoy themselves
The full Opera House orchestra furnished
the music, which was never better
This being full dress affair, the usual !!
o'clock rule was considered obsolete, and Il
was not until an early hour this morning
that tho dance was over.
