The entertainment given by the Is.
b. society of young ladies to their gen
tlemen friends, last Friday evening in
Knox's Hall, was the most charming
social event which has graced the year
1884. Despite the adverse criticisms
of woman executive ability which en-
anate from alleged wise-acres of the
.'lords.r the affair was admirably con-
Quoted to successful close. Sweet,
beautiful and dignified did the fair ell
tertainers look in their pleasing cos
tunes of white, pink, blue and other
cOlors. and mOdestly did the bashful
bachelors bear the hOnOrS which were
heaped upon them. The evening was
taken up with dancing, and right mer-
rily and happily did the hours slip away.
About IL o'clock light refreshments
were served by Davis, and it was two
o'clock before the party broke up. The
h. BIS. composed of Abilene's best
and brightest" did themselves and
their guests proud, and their graceful
endeavOr to make social life pleasant
should not alone be honOred in the mem
DRY of our young gentlemen, but should
meet with a substantial acknowledge
ment before another moon wakes and
WaneS.
