A PINK BALL.
The Jefferson Literary and Social Circles
Dance.

Season after season, year after year, men
and women gather in Belvidere Hall and
woo the Goddess Terpsichore. They reT.
resent the culture, the wealth, the
refinement. the beauty Of the city,
and week after week in winter
time the light ueid Of slippered foot
or the more manly tread OF the patent
| leather tell the story Of hearts dancing
themselves into love, the altar TO be the
climax. Little do they care for the world
without; business j. LEFT to the four winds
of Heaven; the complications Of a new
gown is left TO the dressraker. They 60

of enjoyment, and in may waltz all is lost
sight Of, save the ecstacy OF rythm the
pleasure Of that is at hand.
Not the least brilliant or enjoyable OF
these entertainments are the beautiful GER
mans and balls given by the Jefferson Lit
erary and Social Circle of our city, and last
night they fairly exceled themselves. The
bail was one glare Of brllliancy and beauty.
The flash OF jewels, the beautiful gowns, the
fair women. the gallant men, made a pic
ture worthy OF brush OF an artist.
PINK BALL.
If was the opening ball-a pink one-of
the season, and if il is forerunner of the
brilliancy Oi others, the efforts Of last year
can be only compared as an incandescent
10 an arc. Around the room pOtted plants,
ferns, and flowers stole from the room its
usual baroness. Banners with the initials
of the Circle confronted one at all sides,
and held netting that divided
the On-ookers from the participants.
Overhead stood Mr.. Moses stein, and his
efficient orchestra liscOursed the music,
while behind the curtains on the stage Mr..

cheering collation.. Salads, ,biyalyes, ,daintily
dressed. meats, celery, ETC., made tempt
ing arr ay upon the table, and by Mr. SiegePs
mastery hands We'd with each other for
praise and notice.
About half-past II o'clock the curtain
rose on the scene. and made pretty pic
ture. The "grand march TO supper" was
PLAYED. the company went through the
usual intricate eyOlutions, and the battle OF
knives and forks was commenced.
After supper the dancing was resumed,
and in the "wee sma hours" the merry
tread Of the dancers told the old story over
again of beauty and of love.
