The Mistletoe club is preparing fol
another hop.
Society continues TO catch on to this
farm clutch.p
Gone but not forgotten Is the cpl
taph OF the s. p. Q. club.
There Is much complaint among the
patrons OF the theater over the absence
OF good local orchestra.
The gallery in the opera-house
should be lighted up sufficiently 10
enable patrons to see the programmes.
The dancing platform in the opera
house will soon be made and the M. II.
Johnson Hook and Ladder company
will give ball In the building on the
30lh inst.
Peppermint says she Is trying 10 or
ganize a broom brigade among the
young ladies. Their first exhibition
drill will be given when Cleveland is
president.
II really does begin TO look as though
Fort Worth will not compare favor
ably with Dallas and other Texas
cities in the exhibition at the New
Orleans exposition.
Lulu Hurst and the Juveniles are
the only humbugs that have been I'm
the operR-house this season, we mean
humbug shows and don't count the
belle OF Saratoga"
1t would cost but little TO have the
patrons OF the opera-house supplied
with drinking water during the per-
formances. This Is done In most we'll
regulated and equipped theaters.
Owing to the fact that Sells Bros
circus will hold forth on Tuesday next
the business meeting OF the "Mlstletoe
club" will take place at the usual place
ofmeeting tomorrow night. BY or
der OF g. w. Lamborn, president; o.
Lynch, secretary.
The ITALIAN Social club will give
grand ball on the 10Th of next month
In the new and elegant ball In the II.
J.. Turner livery building on South
Main street. This hall IL said TO be the
largest and finest in Fort Worth and
the Thalians intend 10 make the ball
one OF the great society events Of the
season.
Amidst all the changes In fashion
the swallow-tail coat pursues the even
tenor OF It's way, undisturbed by the
wrecks OF almost every other style OF
garment. A claw-hammer coat Is like
the mule, IL never dies or wears out.
These coats have been known to de-
scend from Propositus TO Trlnepos,
through six generations, and bob up
serenely at the latest fashionable ball.
Some time last season an invasion was
threatened in the line OF bright colors
for dress coats, but the male part OF
society kicked, on the ground that one
dress coat ought TO last lifetime at
least-what their grandfathers wore
was good enough for them.
A young poet who signs the name
"Louisn has sent THE GAZETTE a
poem commencing. 81 leaned over the
gate at niid-night.n Louis must have
been leaning over a bar before he
wrote the poem. He speaks of "spirlta
{ dead loves lowering nearp and the
"Rmber-faced man in the moon.n He
also states something about
drinking In the silence oI
the night,n but does not gay
whether II was beer or syrup and
He forgot 10 say over which gate he
was leaning and whether the bun dos
was loose or not.
! am like the full moon sailing through
waiting 10 see my loved ones face,
Is the commencement of the eleventh
verse. Poor Louis! The GAZETTE
sympathizes with you; no doubt you
were full like the moon, and no doub
your head was sailing around. Oul
advice to you is 10 hire hack mex
time you start home and pay negr,
twenty-five cents TO put you to bed
Don't go about leaning over gates a
midnight, or home of these fine morn
lngs you will be leaning over the gat
IN front of the recorders court.
At the hop recently given by tn,
Mistletoe club there was young lad
In the throng who was always tn
center OF a group when not dancing
She seemed not so lovely az some o
her fair companions, and | asked
= bright brunette how IL was that thi
girl could command more devotion
than others more favored In persona
charms. "Oh,n said the brunette
"she ia one OF the sweetest girls
I know. She can scarcely be callel
pretty, but there Is something so al
tractive about her that she wins every
body TO her slde.p Later in the ever
Ing met this young lady and In 70,
minutes / knew that what the bru
nette had told me was true. AT frs
, thought she was far from pretty
but before the evening was over / wa
convinced that she was lovely. SOM
women who are positively homely ar
more attractive than Others who ran
