idly gaining the reputation for success
so desirable. In social affairs its repu-
sation has been established SO firmly that
the little outlying precincts like Jack
sonville and other tributary towns can
hardly have the shadow of ghost of
hope left of vieing with it. We may
have compassionate feeling for these
benighted regions, but we can but glory
in the position occupied by our own Pa
latka.
Last night, at the Guards Armory, our
young men gathered themselves to-
gether, not emitting to gather with
themselves certain fair daughters OF
Eve, indispensable upon all the really
important events of life. They We're
naturally indispensable upon this occa-
sion, for who ever heard of german
being held without the presence of la
dies! We never did. And if there Is
any crusty old bachelor within the pre-
cincts of this town who can enjoy any
important event of life all alone by him
self, we would like him to report HIM
self at this Office for purposes of identifi-
cation, as the lawyers say. We viii put
him in a glass case and exhibit him free
of charge.
DIR. S. d. Lowry was the leader of the
band of good looking young men and
handsomely dressed young ladies who,
like the legendary fairies and nymphs,
who have gone out of date with the adj
vent of railroads and other intense
practicalities, Glanced the happy hours
away" The popular leader, with his
charming partner, Mrs. William FL. Hus-
son, led the happy band through many
pretty figures and bewildering mazes,
and the spectators, although not all so
young as some of the others, were
unanimously of the opinion that there is
nothing SO pretty as beauty. The beauty
seen last night was not to be compared
with the Sleeping Beauty either, for
animation and viyacity has its character
istic as fully as any other natural trait
of that attribute, and what is more
charming than beauty when animated
and vivacious) in the female form di-
vine."
