But till last night tile season of
dancing which has just ended has
been unusually dull. There has been
only one or two attempts made to
r%einstate the old time dances and
they seemed to have failed, Last

and the Merry Makers reused from
their slumbers. All the boys were
there as Of old. atd the girls led by
Miss Oetavie Broussard, the belle 81

rare sweetness and beauty. Mis-:
Dora Lyons and Leah Leblanc en-
tertained their many friends with
the usual happiness Of their charms
while others shone with brilliancy,
The costumes of the eve were
very pretty. Miss Broussard's pink
