IS Hail. The affair was considered a
test of Nevada's beauty, respectable
/. ity and political standing and several
people who were not invi4ed commits
ed suicide Our occasional CORES
8 pendent sends the following account:
The leap year dance given at Reno
f by the ladies, at Armory Hall Thurs
r day eve was a very brilliant and Sc
lect affair. The interior of the hall
was hardly recognizable through the
elaborate and tasteful decorations;
it fairly bloomed with plants and
evergreens and the general effect
: was delightful.
, The grand march began promptly
at 9 o'clock, the ladies carried the
engagement cards, selected their
partners and had everything their
own way The floor managers were:
Mrs Jessie Lewis, Mrs. Eva Jamin-
son and Miss French.
The program of dances was faiths
fully carried out to the end i'll gem
uine leap>year style. The best dan
GERS were called for every dance,
and the unskilled were left to bloom
along the wall. The gentlemen were
very sweet-tempered and graceful,
and no fault could be found with the
gallant and geutienanly bearing of
the ladies.
The supper was served at about
/ half an hour short of midnight anu
embraced exceedingly dainty and
appropriate refreshments.
The greatest share of credit for
the success Of the Leap Year Party
is due to the general managers; they
worked increasingly for success md
they deserve the thanks Of all for
the perfection of their arrangements.
They are, on all sides showered with
compliments and deserve them.
