The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1891-01-01

On Monday night a very delightful
entertainment was held at the New
berry Hotel. It was designated in the
langus &c of modern society, a phantom
party, we presume, in consequence OF
the spectre-like or ghost-like appear,
ance of the participants and pleasure
seekers on this night in question. 1t
is the general opinion, we believe, that
a ghost is white, although what foun-
dation there is for such belief we do not
know, never having seen one. Inc
gallant young men and fair maldens
on this occasion, during the first part
of the evening were all arrayed IN ele'
CANT white costumes with masks COW
ering the face, and all went merry as
merry could be, without the stiffness OF
formal introduction, for no one was
presumed to know the other.
About II o'clock, or perhaps later,
the masks were removed and pleasure
ran high until the small hours OF the
morning when the happy company ad-
journed.
Through the kindness of some OF the
ladies who were present we are per
mitted to present list OF those VINO
