The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-12-22


men are home from school and college
social matters may be expected to take
on a more lively pace. Yet, excepting
few very informal gatherings, no
events have been announced for Christ
mastlde. The Cornell reception, the
third assembly, the Honesdale Exhange
ball, and the Bachelors ball will fill
holiday week as far as large affairs go,
but when your young student lays
aside the book for plum pudding, some
thing aside from formal fun is wanted.
So 1t seems reasonable to suppose that
the influx will cause here and there a
party every unoccupied evening of the
week.
The Bachelors organized six years
ago with twenty-one members all of
whom at that time were unmarried
and whose object was TO give large
dance each year and in a measure pay
off their social Indebtedness, at least
for those among their number who were
not able to repay in any other. way,
Their dances were given at the, Wyo-
ming and always with decided success.
The list for invitations increasing in
numbers each year necessitated holding
the ball in large quarters, and the result
Is subscription dance. The members
of "The Bachelors" are the following:
James Archibald jr., T. f. Archibald,
James Blair, jr., E. f. Chase. ]. NJ. Chit
tenden, ir.. ]. w. Decker, A. f. Hunt,
jr., ]. II. S. Lynde, Thomas Moore, j.
W. Oakford, F. j. Platt, A. Il. Post, y.
S. Sanderson,- b. E. Watson. Captain
Montrose Barnard. w. NJ. Dickson, w.
l. Finch, G, B. Jermyn, w. H. Jessup,
jr., H. w. Kingsbury, Ed. MCGOWAN,
c. r. Parke, f. f.. Platt, II. b. Reynolds,
H. p. Simpson, II, B. Ware and Major
Everett Warren.
AS usual, in such extensive function,
the officers may be hampered in their
work If the purchase of tickets is post
poned until the latter part of the week.
1t Is essential to the success of the bali
that those invited procure tickets as
early as possible in order that the COM
mittee may form an idea of the number
who will attend.
Complete preparations are being
made by the Scranton Cornell alumni
for the visit of the Cornell Glee and
Banjo club Monday night. After the
concert reception and dance will be
rendered the visitors at the Hotel
| Terrace. While it is one of the most
impromtu, II also promises to be one OF
