" enjoyed by the gallant cavaliers and
courtly ladies who made up the entang-
ling ouadrilles and circled the room to
the music of the whirling waltz. Han
sons band dill full credit to itself. and
filed the room with strains so sweet
and enticing that none could resist
1.-the invitation to the dance The
supper was just what lovely woman can
make it when she sets her head to that
end. 1t was tempting and plentiful
and the arrangement of the tables was
beautiful beyond compare Dancing
was continued until five O'Clock 1.-The
comm MORN when tired nature sought
repose. the fiddles were encased, the
LIGHTS put out. and naught was left OF
the most brilliant ball of the winter,
