WHIrE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
August 20, 1889.
The ballroom, with It's wonders OF de-
coratiye art from floor TO ceiling, wit
messed on Saturday night one OF the
most brilliant and artistic pink fancy
dress carnivals that ever graccd It's bright
and glorious annals. The electric lights
were softly eubducd with shades colc"r
de rose, rejecting a radiant roseate glow
upon the lovely faces and royal gowns Of
the fower-crowned queens upon the
floor. The costumes, the gorgeous de-
corations, the glIttering jewels, and
matchless beauty converted the ball
room with its full floor Of dancers into
a grand temple Of light and luxury.
The band-stand, with the muslcians,
was concealed behind a bank OF laurel
and ivy. and on ono side Of the stand
was table decorated with flowers and
ladcu with refreshments. The beaming
faces and exqulGite dresses OF the ladies
who oraced the scene dawned upon the
sight like some vision of Fairyland and
the effect of the soft, sweet strains oil
music, with the roseate tInts, gave
weird and Oriental charm 70 the scene.
Every gown either reproduced a Particu-
lar flower or was layishly garlanded with
buds or blossoms. and never did the ex-
ceeding loneliness Of White Sulphur
bellies show to such advantage.
The toilet worn by Miss Susie Heth
was unique III its girlish simplicity. and
nothing but the Empress rose could
have shown to such advantage the warm
creamy .pallor of her velvety skin.
Miss Macon, Of Virginia, appeared III
exquisite toilet of pink null, and her
liquid. lustrous, soul.beaming eyes shonc
like jewels under the subdued excitement
Of the evening.
Miss Haskell, OF South Carolina, never
looked lovelier, superbly ottired in pink
silk, with sprays of pink blossoms spring
ing from the fowery girdle to meet
wealth of opening roses, outlining the '
neck and defining the beauty of her lily
white shoulders.
Miss Lowndes, of South Carolina,
was arrayed in pink tulle /; broad band
OF the rosy nower-cups was woven to
finish a ruflle about the hem and sup
port the graceful draperics artistlcally
caught here and there with long, lovely
garlands Of the delicately-hued flowers,
with the roscate illumination and deep
cned tones varying with every movement
Of Miss Lowndes's stately figure. This
fabric was indescrbably effective.
Miss kilgoro, of Ohio. was regal IN
pink satin garlandcd with pink blush
roses and lily-of-the-valley. lnnumera-
ble folds Of pinkish crepe de chine hid
completely its pink silk pettlcoat foun-
dation, aud she looked q very queen OF q
fair hower-gardcn.
Mr.. and Mrs James Walker, OF Rich
mond, gave a very beautiful green din
ner to Mr.. and Mrs. Meade Minnigerode,
of Philadelphia. Saturday evening. The
costumes worn on this occasion were SUI
perb, and the menu WAS Of incompara-
BILE excellence. Covers were laid for
sixteen couples, and the tables were
tasteiully decorated with flowers and
ferns. The fayOrs for the ladies were
beautiful baskets OF Huyler's candy,
with ribbons to match the ferns, and the
lamps and shades of corresponding hue.
