GENTLEMEN s RECEPTION.
The Most Pleasant and Enjoyable
Event Of the Winter.

word. The spacious dining room wat
cleared of all its furniture and elegant
ly decorated with draperies and potted
plants. The appearance OF the room
before the guests began TO arrive was
certainly very attractive, but when the
guests we're upon the floor and the
great reception was at it's height II was
n brilliant and beautiful scene. Nearly
sixty couples we're actively engaged In
the festivities of the evening and dur
ing any Of the dancing numbers the
eye OF an artistic observer would nee
esSarily be charmed by the scene before
him. Over sixty ladies in elegant cos
tunes with the gay colors 80 much IN
vogue for the evening dresses OF this
season, and with pretty faces, bright
eyes and happy hearts, mingling with
the gentlemen in conventional black,
the brilliantly lighted room, the flow
ets, the decorations and the enhancing
music, all combined to make scene
which would compare fayorably with
any metropolitan affair. One could
not look upon the gathering without
being proud Of his city and community.
The out Of town guests were an
appreciable addition to the success and
brilliancy Of the affair. II they enjoyed
II as fully rs the Abilene people did
having them, their evening must have
been pleasant one. The pleasures Of
the evening began with promenade
concert at $50. The entire music was
by IIarrison's orchestra OF Line pieces
aud II was rendered to the entire salts
faction OF the guests. Many deserved
compliments to the orchestra were
heard on the floor, The dancing
numbers commenced at 8 O'Clock aud
continued until 1890, during which
time fifteen numbers we're danced.
