Bellaire, during the past week, has been
very duh in the social line. Everyone
seems to be taking rest for season IN
order to be better able to enjoy the many
events to take place during the holidays:
The only event coming to the notice OF
your reporter during the week was the
surprised p party given Miss Jennie Rel
ley by her friends, a full report OF which
will be found below.
The Crescent Star Dancing Club expect
to entertain their many friends during the
holidays with an all-night dance. This
will no doubt be the" event Of the holt
day season, as the Crescent boys always do
well whatever they undertake.
A full-dress German is one of the proba-
bilities of the near future.
Quite number Of our best Young lAsadies
keep open house" on New Years day.
We hope to give list of those doing so in
due season.
1t is currently reported that some two or
three of our young ladies will begin the
new year under a new name, but the orders
at present are don't you give it out"
Miss Annie Naylor, of Wheelings Gar
den Spot, will spend the winter in Bel
laire.
Mr.. John Mcdonald, of the Fifth ward,
is out at the county seat, seeing the sights
and the girls.
During the latter part of last week and
the early par! of this, it was whispered
among some of our bellies and beaux that
there was a surprise party on the tapis.
The invitations were quietly circulated,
and accompanying each one was the in
junction: Don't say anything about it.
tits to be a surprise" Wednesday even
ing came and Miss Jennie Kellys friends
to the number of about fifteen couples, ac-
companied by La Roche's orchestra, re-
paired to her home in the First ward, took
possession thereof and proceeded to enjoy
themselves. 1t is a proverb among Bellaire
folks that if you want to spend pleasant
evening you can't do better than to go TO
W. J. Kelley's.
This evening fully demonstrated the
truth Of the above and Mr.. and Mrs Kelley
fairly outdid themselves in providing for
the enjoyment of their self-invited guests,
and considering the fact that Miss Jennie
had but four or five days notice that her
friends we're coming, she was, of course,
very properly surprised.
The spacious double parlors were thrown
open and the evening was spenti in dancing.
At about 10 80 the German was organized,
and Bellaire danced her first German un-
der the excellent leadership Of Col. Z. B.
Bowie and Miss Ella Moore.
The German, interrupted only for a few
minutes to partake of the refreshments so
kindly provided by the hostess, was kept up
until "a wee sma' hour ayon't the twal, ;"
when the party dispersed to their homes,
and barring the trip home in the rain, the
evening was the most delightful one Of the
season. The following is list of those
present: Misses Annie c. Hoge, Nellie
Hoge, Annie Naylor, Dora Moore, Ella
Moore, Laura Grove, Minnie Huffman, Mary
