Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1884-02-19

The Leap-year party given by the ladies of
Greenville and vicinity, at the residence of w.
F. Smith, ESQ.,, on Friday night Feb. 18th. was
one of the grandest successes of the kind, we
venture to say, that was ever given in the cOun-
ty; and in this we have the concurrence of all
present. Much credit is due to the committee
of arrangements Misses Carrie Mcclure, Madge
Tate, Laura Smith, Sue Smith, Mollie Palmer
and Lena Bell.
The guests began to arrive about dark and
continued to come until o'clock About
hundred pc sons were present; and, with prom
enading and talking, the evening passed away
most pleasantly. Supper being announced at
10 O'Clock, the guests repaired to the table,
which was most tastefully arranged; large
conical bouquet adorned the centre of the ia
BILE, which was ladened with all that the most
epicurean taste could WISH Ifany went away
hungry, it was their own fault.
After supper, the guests returned some to the
parlor. others to the veranda to promenade.
All seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.
The excellent music rendered by Misses Mary
Brown Watson, Josie Watson, and Jones, and
by Capt. Jones, added much to the life and en-
joyment of the party. Several Duets rendered
by the Misses Watson, were very fine and elic-
tied hearty applause All went 'merry as a
the night passed into the morning. At 8 o'clock
refreshments were announced, when ladies and
gentlemen again repaired to the table to par
take of the delicacies SO tastefully prepared by
the lady hosts. After this, some of the guests
departed; but many stayed until the dawn of
the coming day warned all "that the hour of
departure had come" Time and space forbid
us to dilate on the costumes of the ladies; suf-
flee it to say, that neither elegance nor beauty
was wanting.
