ANACONDA, November 24.-[Correspond-
ence of the Miner 1.-THE greater part OF
the past week has been occupied by our
society people in meeting at the different
houses for the purpose of arranging for the
coming fancy dress ball, which occurs on
Christmas night. The ladies are taking the
matter in hand early, thereby avoiding all
rush and confusion, and giving all ample
time to exercise their own taste, judgment
and handiwork in their costumes. There
fore they will not be compelled to resort
to the tawdry, shop-worn, rented affairs.
Notwithstanding the fact it is
A LEAP YEAR BALL
also, our beaux have no cause to tremDle
upon the ragged edge OF suspense for the
next four weeks, as each gentleman will re-
ceive an invitation from the committee,
and the young ladies be deprived OF an op-
portunity to wreak vengeance on any in
different party goer.
All sorts OF costumes have been planned
iIIl S'SESBGCN3 OldooLNhi5 LIZ CS1N I'S
taresque. Those who have a love for the
Hellenic in dress will have an opportunity
to crafty that taste. Galatea, Virginia,
(not Virginia OF Virginia), and Helen Of
Troy have been named, but they OF the
tiptilted noses and frowsy bangs need not
entertain d thought of such. Anaconda
boasts of one very charming young married
lady VINO is sti1l in her teens, who could
pose admirably as a Helen OF Troy. Again
that
COSTUME OF L
worn by the famous French beauty, Julie
Recamier, will be a fayorite everywhere.
But all OF those who do not glory in a
marble-iike throat, exquisite shoulders and
symmetrical arms had better discard the
idea at once. Short baby waist, low neck
and q tiny pulled sleeve, straight skirt and
wide sash. The success OF the costume de-
ponds npon the tying OF that sash, as it
must have the appearance of being wound
about the body with nothing suggestive of
tightness.
Japanese costumes, when arranged prop
erly, are always picturesque, also the
Oriental; nothing is more graceful. Still it
usually requires a little courage to appear
in one.
For the benefit of those to whom money
is no object, | will describe one costume
worn at a fancy dress ball in Paris by the
world-renowned beauty, Nine. Bernardake.
She ~personated Diana and appeared in a
short skirt of heavy white satin, every
stitch in the seam being marked by a
diamond or sapphire; bodice OF blue velvet.
She had draped over her shoulders a
panther's skin and her hair was sprinkled
with diamonds and sapphires held in place
by a network OF real gold thread. 1t might
be well to add that Diana can be beauti-
fully represented with very little expense
and is always q striking costume. The
'MorHER GOOSE" ENTERTAINMENT
given at Evans Hall on Friday and Satur-
day evenings was, without a doubt the
most royal success that has ever been
placed upon the boards OF our town by
amateur talent. Sixty beautiful and we'll
drilled little children delighted the audience.
The first part OF the programme consisted
of duets, vocal and instrumental, by our
best local talent.
Der Wasserfall by Miss Lydia Jennings
and Mrs. Kiingberg was an especial feature
and Was heartily encOred. Mrs. BOujger,
Messrs. Thomas, Watson and Gumb were
al! particularly appreciated. The grand
march BY the whole company in character
costume was loudly cheered and ~applauded.
Master Willie Cannon as Brother Jona-
than and Miss Minnie Cornelius as Column
bia greeted Mother Goose and her family
in a very happy tanner. Miss Ivy Hill
house as Mother Goose is
OF SPECIAL MENTION.
Her addresses were ready and prompt, her
| manner easy and graceful and her costume
complete to the letter. Miss Nellie Kinney
