The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1893-06-15
The Ball at the Court House,


liaDtly lighted, was reminded of
Hans Anderson's descriptions of
Fairy-Laud.
Bossier has had many delightful
balls and her fame for the elegance
OF them extends beyond the confines
Of the parish, but none has been
more enjoyed than the one given
last Thursday night.
The ladies were dressed with such |
elegance and taste as betoken re.
fiuement and culture-their tasty |
and varied toilets were the admira-
tion of all present. The gentlemen,
neatly attired, bore themselves with |
d grace and gallautry peculiar to
our Southern born men.
1t made the hearts of the old beat
in unison with those of the young,
to hear the music played in dance
measure, and see one couple after
another glide through the Intricate
figures of the different dances. The
beauty and grace of our daughters
of the South are displayed nowhere
to a greater advantage than when
rendering homage to Terpsichore.
1t was delightful entertainment
in every respect, and as such was a
charming display of that character
istic hospitality for which our peo-
Pile are celebrated. Everything was
properly arranged and this proved
to be the most enjoyable affair OF
the season, long to be remembered
by those, who, amid the flow of uni
ty and good cheer, gave substantial
evidence of their appreciation of the
occasion.
1t was late when good nights were
said and feet were turned home
ward, while the unanimous verdict
was that it was complete success
