Middletown transcript., 1893-12-30


surrounding country assembled In r.
sponse to the invitation of the, Social Clut
Fairer women, more elegant gowns an
more gallant men never met to do homag
to Terpsichore.
To look upon such scene was to get
glimpse Of fairy land. Youth, beauty ant
gaiety were never blended into SO man,
charming diversities.
To describe in detail would be q Difficult
task. There were 125 dancers on the foo
and as one dance followed another ther,
was continuation of rhythmic sound ant
motion. And the belle of the ball? Shs
was there indeed, but how to describe and
do her justice is the qaestion.
Every Romeo was sure his Juliet was ihe
queen ofthe night, and if an anxious public
would Ike to know her, ask some swain
who she was, and he will answer How
charming she was rosy cheeks, Flashing
eyes, graceful and 1.-the, her terpsichorean
feet would have enchanted the God of the
art himself.
The costumes were all elegant, the OBJ
server noted the absence of trains for the
most paftt; d-#isshh but few exceptions the
ultra decollette style was also absent, nearly
all the ladies being clothed in modest and
becoming attira.
The patronesses were Mrs.J B. Foard Mrs.
Julian Cochran and Mrs. T. Fl Gilpin. The
music was furnished by Albert's orchestra
of Wilmington. The presence of Satori,
the celebrated harpist, of Philadelphia, was
great achievement, and the young men
did well TO secure him.
