Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1893-12-30

judiciously placed that the throng was
a cOngenial one.
The guests began to arrive at nine
o'clock, and from that hour until two,
the merriment continued uninterrupted.
The spacious dining hall was cleared
for the terpsichorean programme. The
chandeliers were gracefully festOORed
with holly and SmilaX and other taste
full decorations, making harmonious
whole which greatly enhanced tie beau
" of the scene. The costumes Of the
ladies' were notably handsome, bright
coors predominating. 1t was like a
picture from dreamiand. II anything
was lacking to complete the Illusion, 1t
was more than supplied by the subtle
oder Of fragrant flowers, and the soft
melody Of the orchestra, which com.
bined with the visual feast to charm
the senses.
The floor Of the dancing hall was at
all times filled with the merry devOtees,
who glided through the maze Of the
waltz, or gracefully followed the figures
of a Quadrille, with a spirit that gave
evidence Of keen appreciation and the
full measure Of enjoyment. The pro-
gramme embraced twenty OF the most
popular numbers, the orchestra music
having been especially selected for the
occasion. The parlorS and hall OF Inc
hotel provided many charming oppor-
tuuities for a delightful tete-a-tete,
which were embraced by the young
folks, and the tell-tale blush spoke
volumes for the little love-lad's unerring
aim.
The dance added zest to the appetite,
aud when luncheon was spread at mid
night. the viauds disappeared with
rapidity which attested its excellence.
In point Of attendance the affair was
equal 10 the New Years ball OF '93, and
il was not less successful from any
other point Of view.
