The GREAT LEAP YEAR EVENT
Names Of Gentlemen Who Were
Present-A Grand Success
Th~oushout. -,

Society had been preparing herself
for two weeks past for last nights
great event. So when last evening ar
rived, society, with all her queens
bellies, courtiers, brilliance and display,
swooped en- .masse, in glittering train,
upon the Salt Lake Theatre.
Seldom, if ever, in the history of the
theatre balls, has there been an occa
sion when SO great party assembled to
laugh away, the night in merriment
and trip the light fantastic toe to the
time of enchanting music. AS early as
8 O'Clock, carriages began to arrive IN
front of the Theatre, and good many
curious throngs gathered on the
sidewalk to note the novel sight
OF ladies handing gentlemen from
;he carriages, marching up to
the box office, planking down their
silver dollars, and escorting their
partners into the hall. Within, every
thing was gay and brilliant to the la
| degree. The ladies of the committee.
MIS-, Edith Clawson- Knowlton, Birdie
CUMMINGS, Mrs. Dellie Cummings,
Mrs. ]. W. Clawson and Mrs. George
| Foote, had spared no-pains to provide
| for the convenience of the guests of
| both sexes. The Theatre had been
saily decorated with flags, flowers
d aperY and bunting, AMI through
me stage arches in the distant rear,
the glittering spires Of Prof. Balls
confectionery and refresbment display
were seen in all their tempting glory.
The first circle was filled with ladies
and gentlemen who came to gaze and
not to dance, and opera glasses and
lorgpettes were as freely levelled at the
many elegant costumes of the ladies,
as were ever levelled at costumes on
the stage Of the Theatre.
THE DRESSES
were OF the most elegant and tasteful
design ever seen upon the floor
| of a bali room in Salt Lake
The ladies had empbatically re
served themselves for the occasion, and
| they shone the admired OF all admirers.
| Where there were 80 msny-there were
close upon 200 of the fair sex with their
partners upon the hoor-it is, of course,
| impossible to do anything like justice
| in an attempt to part culariZe costumes.
Besides, as it Was an occasion where
| the Steiner sex should be accorded the
place of distinction, If any details. as to
dresses were attempted, it would have
| TO De the gentlemen who would come in
| for attention. The lac hour at which
the festivities closed, however, forces us
to be content with narration of
THE GENTLEMEN PRESENT
and by whom they were escorted-as
far as list could hastily be made up on
the floor.

husbands to shift for themselves an6
