THE LEAP YEAR BALL.

The word welcome in silver letters
made one feel at home, and the le-
gend "catch on" urged the dilatory
gentlemen to their duty.
The "dear girls" gave the COM
munity lesson in self denial last
night, that the "dear boys" will never
forget. A very large room with this
notice over the door, "For the dear
boys" was set apart for the gentle
men, while the ladies satisfied them
selves with a cloak room six by SIX.
When the assembled talent and bril-
liancy was in full swing, it appeared
as though rainbow had fallen from
the skies, so great was the variety of
color of costumes.
Miss Willie Mills made her debut
into society last night. at the A. y.
u. w. hall. She seemed to enjoy
the affair very much and we wish her
many returns of the enjoyment.
The music was furnished by Prof.
Miller's orchestra. Prof. Chas. Mil
Ter, solo violin; Alareo Aires and
John Elmer, first violin; James Mil
ligan, violincello; Robert Kasper,
solo cornet, and Thomas Hogsett,
double bass. The selections were
plaved with marvellous skill and del
icacY.
