GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR /
SPRINGS, August Is, 1885. }
The largest german ever gwen at
the White Sulphur, and, indeed. the
handsomest entertainment since the Ia
nous Lee ball, was that OF last eve
ming, given by Miss Susie Stewart, OF
Salt,illc, Va. AT II O'Clock, all things
being in readiness, the brilliant COM
pany who we're to participate IN tne
evenings dance thronged in from the
parlor and seated themselves IN couples
in the seats ranged on all sides OF the
lone room. which has one OF the best
1looys for dancing to be found in the coun-
try. Each one Of the 100 couples was
nroyided with dainty little badge of
satin ribbon. on which was printed the
names Of the chaperones--Mrs. Stewart,
Mrs. James Alfred Jones, Mrs. Drewry,
Of Drewry's Bluff, Va, and Miss Mary
Blake Jones, of Washington.
HANDSOME FAvoRs.
Favor figures were numerous, and for
these the pretty ornaments selected
were quite unique and tasteful. Little
yachts Of gilt and silver rigged with
silken sails, artistic lace-pins, SCENT
bottles, and large corsage bouquets for
the ladies, were among the number,
while for the gentlemen the most ac-
ceptable favors were choice cigars tied
with ribbons. At one end Of the
room were set two large tables with
every imaginable delicacy, to which the
dancers were helped throughout the en-
tire evening, during which time wines
and champagne flowed in the greatest
profusion. 1t was the unanimous YER
dict that never was n german more per-
fectly led THAI on this occasion, or more
entirely successful i'll every respect.
