LEAP YEAR FUN.
THE LADIES GIVE A GRAND EN-
TERTAINMENTTo GENTLEMEN.
The Social Event Crowned With Sue.
cess Everyone Greatly Pleased
Much Enjoymant--A Large
Assemhlage.

Everyone agrees that the ladies scored
great success IN fhe leapyear party
which they gave at tile Phelps hall last
night. It was admitted to be the event
Of the season in genuine merriment. The
managers had arranged everything so
quietly that no one expected sucha grand
tableau as the ball room presented when
the beauty and grace Of Great Falls went
through the mazy figures Of the lanciers
Or glided over the floor to the sweet music
Of the "Blue Danube" waltz. The varied
toilets of the ladies excited general ad-
miration. There was a pleasing diversity
in them which made the sets in quadrilles
seem like groups of oriental houris, and
gave to the whole assemblage all the
charm which harmony Of color imparts.
The ladies were courteous as we'll as
elegant. 1t might be said that they were
gallant, for on this occasion the usu-
al order was reversed and the
gentlemen resigned themselves to the
tender care of their fair guests. The
ladies invited the gentlemen to dance,
they escorted them to seats, and took care
that each one was we'll entertained. I'm
der such magic int1uer5e every one dane
! ed. Those VIII, sSs,l almost forgotten the
figures logged their memory and became
as gay as the gayest. In one dance only
was the gentle sway Of the ladies relaxed
In that they allowed the gentlemen to
choose their partners.
About midnight supper was served.
The hosts accepted the aid Of some
gentlemen volunteers. In a short time
! and without confusion light refreshments
were distributed and in merry groups
supper was eaten.
Then the excellent music Of the Race
orchestra resounded. The gay assem-
blage chased the glowing hours with
nimble feet and all went merry as a
marriage bell. Intoxicated with pleasure
