LAST OF THE SEASON.
Brilliant Closing Party by the Esoteric
Club Last Night


Club Last Night.
The closing party of the Esoteric Club
last evening was novelty, and one of the
most unique affairs ever given in this
city. The party was the eighth of a
series of pleasant gatherings of the club
members and took place at Turner Hall.
The announcement was made that it
would be a "calico" ball, and those who
attended were very soon convinced that
the party was certainly well named. The
decorations in the hall were odd and yet
most tastefully arranged. The fabrics
used were colored calico and Indian mus
lin, and the artistic arrangement OF the
draperles and streamers gave the hall a
most pleasing appearance. Immense
bows OF muslin ornamented the walls be-
tween the windows and folds of colored
cloth were placed about the hall with
good effect
The music stand was converted into
tropical bower and an excellent orchestra
supplied selected music for dancing dur
ing The evening. a number of overtures
were also given.
1t was the understanding that all the
ladies' who attended were to wear dresses
OF calico or some similar fabric, and there
were very few who did not come attired
IN a dress appropriate to the occasion.
Inc dresses were all very prettily made,
and the array of bright colors made the
floor brilliant scene during the dances
The gentlemen were, for the first time, the
center OF attraction. Nearly all wore
calico shirts and neckties, and several of
them created sensation by appearing in
full-dress suits of pure white. Howard
kimbrough, William Lovdal, William
Sims, Charles Bentley and Stuart Epson
were so attired, and several others we're

programmes was also in keeping with
the occasion. the covers being of dotted
calico. Just for change" was the
quotation on the first page, and an inner
page contained the following words of
greeting:
The Club Esoteric greeJs you. Tonight she
makes her tnal bow. She has accomplished
her work and modestly adds one to Sacra-
mentos long list of social winters 1t con-
graduates its members; to them it owes its
existence, its support, its success. 1t well
comes It's friends; from them IL seeks its repu-
tatlon, Its praise, its reward. 1t has no COM
ment for enemies To the city it sends a sec
ond greeting, and gives way before the new
era OF busting manufactures.
About sixty couples took part in the
grand march and it was very pretty
scene. a light repast was served at II
O'Clock, and after about two more hours
OF pleasure, the party dispersed. The
officers of the club are: John A. Gill.
