The B. BIS, society of Abilene
young ladies, presumably organized for
the benefit of fOrlOrn bachelors, will
give dance and supper in KnOX'S hall
on Friday evening of this week. The
bachelors who have received invita-
tons to this entertainment should new
er again bemoan their lack of wealth or
beauty; to be hOnored by the b. b. S is
to be spiritually blessed, as it were, to
be enveloped in glory far above and
beyond the mere drOss of gold, the fad
ing charm of material beauty. So it is
written, and so it is.
