LEAP YEAR BALL.
The Social Event of the Seas,

| The Social Event OF the Season
Decidedly the most brilliant and
| pleasant social event of the season
and one which has never been excelled
in Henderson, was the grand Leap
y ear Ball given by the young ladies
at Burwell Hall last Friday evening.
1t was indeed a perfect entertainment
in every respect. Every detail had
been carefully planned and arranged
| by the fair promoters, and every duty
looked after with that faithful atten-
ton which only the Henderson ladies,
on pleasure bent, are noted for, and
everything was done to make the affair
an enjoyable and gratifying success.
That such was the case goes without
saying, for the fair ones of this town
never go about anything without put
ting their whole hearts in it, and it
seems that for last Friday night they
displayed a little more energy and de-
termination than has ever character
lied their efforts heretofore.
There was large attendance Of both
participants and spectators, upwards
of forty couples taking part in the
dance. Besides those of Henderson
quite number of young ladies and
gentlemen were present from distance.
We mention:
Misses Murray. Misses Stith, and
Misses Balm and Harris, Raleigh; Miss
Clifton, Louisburg; Mrs. T. H. Cha
vase, Weldon Miss Gregory, Oxford !;
Miss Leach, Littleton; Miss Hunter,
Texas; Misses De Vega. South Caro-
lima; Miss Bagwell, Virginia; Miss
Wallerstein, Baltimore.
There were gentlemen present from
Weldon, Oxford, Kittrell, Clarksyille,
Louisburg, Rocky Mount, Wilson, New
Port News, Raleigh and Richmond.
The following named we'll known
ladies were chaperones: Mrs. n. II.
Chavasse, Mrs. Erasmus Taylor, Mrs.
Bette Young, Mrs. w. r. Henry,
Mrs. J. T. Moss. Mrs. Strause, Mrs.
W. w. Faucette, Mrs. W. j. Robards,
Mrs. E. G. Davis.
At seasonablc hour the dancing
commenced, the ball being opened by
a grand march and figure of the Ger
man which was gracefully led by Mrs.
J. S. Burwell and Mr.. n. P. Strause.
They proved themselves fully equal to
the responsibilities devolving upon the
leaders Of the dance, and their man
agement of the large crowd was simply
superb. Dancing thereafter was the
order of the evening. and was kept up
regularly and with only short inter-
missions. The night air was cold and
crisp, being of just that temperature
to make dancing enjoyable, and the
young people took advantage of it.
Waltzes. Quadrilles, schottisches, lam
GERS, polkas, ETC., followed each other
in rapid succession, and every one was
filled. there being no wall flowers"
and very few promenaders. The dance
was kept up until late hour in the
night. and there was not a single one
OF the merry participants who did not
regret its close, every one pronounciug
1t in all respects perfect success.
Too much cannot be said in praise
Of the young ladies who managed the
ball and of those who participated. It
was indeed most pleasant occasion
and one that will long be remembered
by every person present, demonstrating
that as managers and promoters Of
social events the ladies of Henderson
are even superior to the gentlemen.
