On last Tuesday night, the young ladies
of the Staunton German Club gave the
handsomest German of the season. AS is
always the case, the young ladies by far
excelled thesgentlemen IN getting up this
affair. The new feature Of the evening
was the young lady leaders, they led very
gracefully and beautifully-they led as if
| they were used to it and they make as
good leaders as our popular gentlemen.
| The German commenced at $50 2. M. and
was led by Miss Maggie Bayly, who
mastered the difficult task very beautifully
until 1880 p. NJ; she then gave the
whistle to Miss May Elder, who also led
gracefully until II o'clock, when much to
the surprise of all the gentlemen, an
| elegant lunch was served and most hearth
| iy enjoyed.
After lunch, Miss Sallie Bayly took the
whistle and led charminglY until 2 o'clock,
when all went home-the young gentlemen
concluding they would have to exert
themselves more in getting up Germans,
if they wished to excel or even equal those
given by the young ladies. Below is a list

ladies':
