A Brilliant Party.

County are so well adapted to the re-
the spacious and elegant mansion, in
which ON Tuesday evening last Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Tome entertained their friends
at Port Deposit. The occasion was the
celebration of the fifth anniversary OF
their marriage, to participate in which,
large plumber of invitations had been
extended to their friends, resident
throughout the County, as we'll as Id
neighbOrlng cities. The visitor to Port
Deposit on that evening, had no need to
be informed upon his reaching Bank
Station, that. some special social event
was on the tapis, for the entire front of
the Tome Mansion was ablaZe with cleo
trio lights. while the frequent arrivals of
elegantly dress women, more brilliant by
| contrast with the conventional black
| worn by their male attendants, sutfi-
GENTLY indicated the fact that the enter
| tainment was full dress one. Within
the Mansion, every thing that thought
taste suggest, had been provided by the
generous host and hostess, for the COM
plete social enjoyment of their guests.
For the pleasure of her younger friends,
Mrs. Tome had taken the pains to pre-
| pare the large saloon parlors for dancing,
to complete whose happiness, an excellent
| orchestra stationed in the rear of the
ample Hall rendered choice music, while
| the other spacious rooms adjacent were
devoted to such forms of social amuse-
ment as their older guests preferred.
The supper which was served by Harris
the we'll known Baltimore caterer was
laid in the basement of the Mansion, to
which easy access was had through an
ample stairway leading from the dining
room, while tastefully arranged on the
second hall, were the numerous presents
of wood rendered by their friends.
The guests began to arrive after
o'clock p. m, and were received by Mr..
and Mrs. Tome, the latter being assisted
in receiving them, by Miss Houser. of
Cadiz, Ohio, Mrs Samuel Gavin. of Phil
sdelphia, and Mrs. P. Bryan, of Wash
lngton. The costumes of the ladies' who
constituted the receiving party were no.
ticeably elegant, Mrs. Tones being of
yellow brocade made en- train and decol-
Lete, with lace front embroidered in gold |
with diamond ornaments. Miss Houser
frl ,f oh
black silk, cut decOlLete, its corsage out
lined with pale pink morning glories, |
while Mrs. Caviu's costume was of olive |
silk with velvet panels embroidered in |
silver, with diamond ornaments, and |
Mrs. Bryan's of corded silk Ell train |
woven IN delicate flowers with side panels |
of point lace, with diamonds.
