RICHMOND GERMAN CLUBS.
UNFAiLING SUPPORT OF THE
FOLLOWERS OF FOLLY.

rison MIR. Katx and Mics Manson-Dr.
Aaron Jeffrey to Marry Miss Mamie
Luck-Persopal Mention.
Almost the most pronounced features OF
individuality in Richmond society are the
german clubs and their own peculiar type
Of gaiety. They are the bulwarks OF It's
structure, the unfailng support OF the
followers Of folly, and shine throughout the
winter season with more certainty than the
sun, aud beam on with more constancy
than the ill-regulated moon, for no manner
of evil weather puts out their light.
In Baltimore, where socially we claim
nearer kinship of customs than any other
city, the german also remains TO degree
in its place Of popularity, but II rather
serves as background TO the multiplicity
OF private affairs that dazzle the sense OF
ENJOYMENT. There is one marked difference,
however: the gallants there make en-
gagemenis TO dance the german with
some fair partner as long ahead as Is
deemed necessary 10 secure the privilege.
But this is understood 10 be purely con-
tract. goods received, with no obligation for
TRANSFORMATION. In simpler statement. he
meets his partner at the dancing-hall,
dances with her, returns her to her cha
perone. and wOts not how or whether she
wends her hOmeward. so much for the IN
different concern Of the Baltimore man as TO
the state of the weather on such occasions
In Washington the german is less im-
portant. The army and navy "hops' are
one of the same type of dancing, and fill
the same place. In the political circles
dinner and reception cards are most ire
quent, while teas are too usual TO be
mentioned in the category OF excite
ments. Philadelphia has decided penchant
for assemblies. New York swallows any
morsel served by her great chef, McAllister,
from bag of peanuts at the circus to the
modest demands in the name of sweet
charity" at her great annual ball. To none
of the cities within our ken "set to- by the
Germans as fair Richmond does.

was given on Thursday evening by the FRI
day German. II was in honor to Miss
Ethel Toy, of Atlanta, and Miss Matthews,
