The last sociabe before the rigorous and
penitential season Of Lent commences, was held
on Wednesday evening st at the residence of
Judge Stone and that it was fully enjoyed will
be attesied by all who were present. The affair
was in the nature OF n fancy party and many
of the costumes were both becoming and anus
| ing. Among the ladies the costume OF the peas
ant preiominsted, and that they were inst as
fascinating, pleasant and independent as peas
ant girls supposed to be, goes without say
! ing. Among those ia peasant costume were
Misses Nellie Stohestreet Lizzie Mitchell, Maud
Muschette, Maggie lglehart and Mary Wills
Miss Jennie Stone made an excellent represen-
tation of Night, and the stars that glistened in
the armament attracted many admirers; Miss
Jennie Stonestreot was a chocolate girl, and
her csramelS were eagerly sought after; Miss
Mary Digges was the 1ower-sirl and Miss Kitty
Digges made IN excellent representation OF
Liberty Miss Belle Brawne preserved her in
/ cognito most admirably rs Mrs. Darlington.
Other characters were equally as amusing and
the parts well sustained. The costumes among
the gentleman bordered largely on the ludi-
crous, and much speculation vas INDUCED in
as to the identity of those in mask. At 10
o clock the masks were discarded and dancing
was again enjoyed with much zest until the
hour of midnight arrived, when the masters
with memorable wills dismissed the musicians.
The masquerade sociable was voted an unqual-
6ed success by all at the adjour nment.
