The most brilliant social event OF th5
season in the East End took place last
Wednesday night at Corcoran Hall. where
the 'Arlingtcn'' gave it's Christmas ger
man. Dancing began at 10 and continued
until 2 o'clock. Mr.. Edward Skinner. who
| always leads so gracefully, seemed, III
anything. TO be more at ease than ever.
He was assisted by Mr.. Will. James, of
Lynchburg. who introduced some very
UNIQUE figures. The fair dancers in their
dainty gowns made the scene one not
soon be forgotten. Some Of the young
ladies who wore Empire gowns looked like
quaint old pictures at midnight.
A magnificent supper was served, which
comprised all the delicacies of the sea-
son. The dining-roOm was most artist
cally decorated with holly and running
cedar, the pillars and chandeliers being
entirely covered with The cedar. Mr..
George Schleiser. the caterer. deserves
great credit for the style and beauty with
which the tables were set.

The young people Of Church Hi seem
TO realize that good skating in Richmond
is a rare treat, and therefore for the past
four days many of them have been seen
going to re various points where the
skating has been good. Some Of the
amateurs present n rather ludicrous APP
pearance just at present, and though
they assured me. with "A serious air, that
they could skate, L am forced TO believe
it's done not on the skates, but on their
hands and face.
