A GRAND SURPRISE.
A Party Given in Honor of Miss
Lula Wuif

A Party Given in Honor Of Miss
Lula Wuiff
Surprise parties in this city indeed
have been many and delightful
Some have been more enjoyed than
others. The one given last night al
the Wulff mansion, corner of Garden
and King William streets, in honor OF
Miss Lula Wulff, in brilliancy and
enjoyment, eclIpsed them all.
Between half-past eight and nine
O'Clock, some twenty couples gath
cred at the Moke residence, 325 Presa
street, and from there, headed by
Artzts orchestra, marched to the
place, where five hours of unalloyed
pleasure were spent. This number
was greatly augmented by late
eomers.
Upon the arrival at the house they
took it by storm. the young lady
happily knowing. nothing whatever
about the arrangements, as Is so
often the case. The parlors were
soon cleared and the dance began.
From some unknown closet q num-
Der of large Chinese lanterns were
extracted, lighted and hung in the
limbs of the large trees growing here
and there about the yard. This lent
an excellent chance to couples who
delight to promenade in Luna's rays
and coo in loves accents.
Betw een the hours of eleven and
one, refreshments, consisting of
delicious ice cream and cake, and
other things, were served to the mul.
tftude, who would visit between
dances, where tables were set.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wulff aud the Misses
Wulft, who. as entertainers, have no
did everything In their
power for the entertainment of their
unexpected guests. To say they
succeeded in the highest measure is |
During the evening several colored |
Ministries, who were passing, at the |
solicitation Of the boys, rendered some |
songs that were indeed most credit |
able and were enjoyed hugely by the |
dancers.
The committee in whose minds the |
originated, are to be con-
for their excellent success.
The names Of the committee are: Miss
Hortense Moke and Miss Toska Sar-
tor. At two O'Clock, when the music |
stopped, the guests began to leave,
their fair hOstesses good |
night, long life and happy future.
