If 1T be true that nothing succeeds
like success, the "Young Folks" who
arranged last nights sociable, must
feel pleased to-day. There has not
been a pleasanter, better appointed
or more tasty entertainment in HALEY
for many long day, if, indeed, there
ever was. The prettily decorated The
alter, bathed in d soft, mellow light,
tlnged by pink drapery to the blush
color of early morning, seldom, if
ever before, gave room to fairer or
happier throng of ladies, and better
behaved or Drawer band of gentlemen
for all gentlemen are we'll behaved
and all we'll behaved n en- are brave.
Prof. Delius's orchestra rendered
the poetry of music and the dreamy,
semi-list!ess walters responded to its
influence with the motion of the air,
and the light oot-fall of fairies.
The luncheon was excellent-iust
those nice little dishes that entice,
satisfy and make one feel kind to
all around-just enough to wholly
crafty, and nothing to cause distaste
Over the tables the members of the
"Guild" presided.
At the door the "Young Folks"
mad placed an old soldier as sentinel,
and with steady tread Riley moved
on his beat, gathering the dimes to
aid the cause.
Fitting here and there, ubiquitous,
eagle eyed and irresistible, were Misses
Damphouse and Cliff, bearing flowers
and ribbons which they first fastened
in ones button-hole and then de-
manded the ducats. 1t was useless
to plead. They would beg, then per-
suade, then pretend to be offended.
If the victim held out against these,
then the sirens would turn upon him
one eye flash, softened by smile, and
10! the unfortunate surrendered, and
out came the cash. In this wav these
female revenue collectors ridded a
portion Of the male attendants Of al
their change, and then darted off tc
laugh at the "greenies," of "whom we
were which,"
1t would be unjust to individualize
as to beauty, grace of bearing in the
ballroom orgracefulness in the dance
because it is true that the entire part,
was elegant and model. But tn,
