THE CHILDREN'S PARTY.

The childrens party given by Miss Lucy
Ford at the Garfield last night was one OF
the most satisfactory and brilliant events
of the season. Long before eight O'Clock
came the gallery of the large hall was
crowded with spectators The hall was
handsomely decorated for the occasion.
| The guests continued coming in until
the seats in both gallery and floor were all
taken up. Ii is estimated that fifty per-
sons were compelled to stand. Shaw's
orchestra was there with their handsome
uniforms and az about $50 the strains of
the grand march brought all the little
ones out on the floor. Miss BERTHE Ford
stepped forward and led the grand march
with the skill of an experienced dancing
master 1t was a magnificent scene
to see these little folks, all
I the way from four years up
arranged in full evening dress promenad-
ing around the brilliantly lighted hall
Fairy land could never be better pictured.
After each evolution which the little ones
accomplished with great skill and pre-
cision, there followed applause. After the
march a regular program WAS gone
through The first polka was led by Miss
Ford and little Baby Schnitzler. The
exactness of the step was surprising and
indeed pretty. One of the chief features
of the evening was the skirt dancing by
little Birdie Ford. This was really excel
lent The skirt and other fancy dances
won the applause of every one, The au-
dience were simply delighted aud enchore
followed enchore. 1t Is said to have been
the finest dancing of the kind ever seen in
An har int faa-
IRE was the dancing Of the
prairie queen quadrille by eight of
