That Hard Times Dance.
A hard times" dance was given as the
Tacoma on Wednesday evening. and was
one OF the most delightful affairs Of the
season. The dance was given by the 81.

Light refreshments were served, and when
the hour for departure came there was q
universal wish that the evening was two
