all that could be desired in the way
of a select and congenial party, and

looked very well. The feature OF the
dance was the costumes OF the ladies,
which were exceedingly pleasant and
beautiful, and on the floor presented a
very charming appearance. The varied
and rich coiors of the ladies
toilets formed variety OF ka-
leidoscopic changes during the
progress of the dances which
commenced at o'clock and lasted until
a late hour. The usual ''Wall tloWerso
as ornaments were omitted and every
one entered into the dancing with a
spirit that at once gave an assurance OF

approval of all.
