ence and acknowledgements little soloi.t


Miss Murrell, Of TO- This little girl, altho'
without the practice Of the other two, exc
cuted a solo in fine style, and was loudly
applauded. She has the fine personnel and
dash Of her mother and the exquisite grace
Of her papa. II your reporter knows him
self, land she thinks he do / just guess
there was more love-making, more flirting,
more squeezing" Of hands, more love
Hastings Of eyes, more signs and more fun
than ought to be allowed to any set Of
mortals in one evening. Your self-impor-
tant reporter, at ore time Of the evening,
thought and felt sure, from the glances
thrown, that he at last had made "mash, "
and hastily darted for the fair one; but no,
il was banana peel his heel had lit upon
and jar and stars were what he realized.
His fall was heavy, out cushioned, and the
recovery quick and his retreat precipiiate.
And now, sir, in all fairness must say,
that the greatest ilrts at the Springs are
the married men. As body, they are
handsome, valiant and appant upon
tongue. They are met more than half way
by the dashing bellies, who listen to the
honeyed words from deceptive lips, and
revel in the elisium Of the rosy hour. The
hour Of 9, when the little ones leave the
ball room, is the bewitching hour for these
gay Lotharios and happy old bucks, for
then the mamas have TO retire, at least for
a time, and then their carnival commence,
and il is making hay while the sun
shines" with them. To their credit, be it
said, they are only in fun, and the fair ones
know it, and are willing to throw their
mite into the general whirl Of enjoyment,
and throw them back again to their boy
hood days Among the costumes | will
mention only few, az you have doubtless
seen the COurier-JouNdi, in which was a
full list Mrs. Lee was prettily arrayed as
Ballet girl, was graceful in person, beau
tiful in face aud charming in conversation.
Her eyes told of the pleasure she enjoyed
in carrying out her character, and she was
admired by old and young. Mrs. Senator
Moore, Of Harrodsburg, was the Queen Of
the Antilles, graceful and easy in black
velvet en- train, valentian lace and superb
diamonds. Mrs. Welch wore, probably,
the most costly dress Of the evening, save
the Worth dress of Mrs. McElroy, the
former wearing blue satin de Gross with
elegant lace embroidery over white satin
plaits, and elegant diamonds Of the first
water, and the latter robe OF Valenciennes
lace over lavender satin, and brilliant dia-
monds. Mrs McElroy was superb in her
Queen like bearing,her speaking eyes over
Swallowed by long, dark, arching brows,
her nut-brown hair deliberately done up in
waving ripples and curls, she treads the
floor thing of life and grandeur, and was
the envy of her sex and the admiration Of
ours. To whisper in your ear-but no,
your "pen driver" must not give himself
away. Mrs. Welch is exceedingly popular
here, and the younger ladies seek her upon
all points Of what is right or wrong. Mrs
Roundtree, of Lebanon, was most becom-
ingly attired as Miss Hannah Moore, the
lovely au horess, and her ready tongue, her
animated conversation, sparkling wit, won
the Animation Of all She was dressed IN
sky-blue silk en- train Val. lace, and pearls
and we feel sure that if Miss Hannah could
have looked down upon her impersonator
Of the evening, she was satisfied. Miss Bet
tie Button, of Louisville, was charming in
cream MORE satin, trimmed in point lace
and seed pearls, natural flowers and dia-
monds. Mrs. T. b. Carr was most elegant
in white null and Val. lace overdress, and
artificial flowers. But the mail is just
ready to start, and ! must close and finish
in next. fully intended political arti-
Gle, or rather reference, in this letter, but
give way for the Governors ball, and re-
serve that also for the next. j. +. l..
