W0MAN'S RIGHTS
Asserted at the Leap Year Party
Last Night.

They Took Charge of the Men,
Looked After Their Wants ana
Had Quite an Enjoyable Thine
How the Boys Were ChaperOned.
The ladies asserted their rights over the
sterner sex last night at one of the most
unique parties it has been the good fortune
of Olympia's young people to enjoy. The
order of attentions was reversed and each
Venus carefully looked after the con
Venience and comfort of her Adonis, and
kept a watchful eye on his movements.
She escorted him to the hotel, where he
was confronted by a series of rules, which
aided him in following out the dictates
which fall to the privilege of the fair ones
quadrennially.
In the cloak room, and within the brill
iantly lighted parlors, the gentlemen were
confronted with placards, which in gilt
letters bore the following decree:
NO GENTLEMAN IS ALLOWED
9To walk across the parlor OF dancing
hall without a lady escort OF his chaperone,
10 go alone for water. lemonade, or to
see man.
''Io go into the lobby to smoke, as cigars
will be furnished at the proper time by
THE COMMITTEE. =
These rules and regulations were most
rapidly enforced and although deYiated
from in some few particulars, it was with
fear and trembling on the part of the
guilty one. In fact, the gentlemen were
entirely at the mercy of the ladies, and
aside from the real pleasure and enjoy
ment OF the evening, which was entered
into heartily, they feared almost to call
their souls their own. On the other hand
the ladies appreciated their lot, and
handled their guests with the utmost care
and .delicacy. Every particular in the
evenings program was arranged and car
RED out by them with a remarkable degree
of executive ability. They directed the
music, selected their partners for the
dance, and escorted them to the dining hall
for refreshments. The affair was a social
success in every. sense of the term, and at
a reasonable hour each gentleman was en-
sconced under his parental roof.
