FLOUR AT A BAL POUDRE
Two Young SweIls Threw a Bag Of 1t
Through a Window.
Having Imbibed Rather Freely They Pre-
ssnted Themselves Without Dress Suits
and Were Requested to Withdraw.

friday evening was great success sOcldliy
as well as financially, but there was an
incident not down on the programme by
which it was enlivened considerably to the
chagrin of those having the entertainment
in charge.
Among the late comers were six of the
young fellows who are always numbered
among the leading beaux of Georgetown
where there is any dancing on the pro-
gramme. These young fellows had spent
the earlier portion of the evening at
dinner party with some other gay young
spirits. and were feeling pretty good when
they turned their attention to the sub
ject of attendance on the Bal Poudfe.
The fact that they had omitted to don Their
evening suits was matter that in their way
OF reckoning was not going to deter them
from enjoying the pleasures of the ball.
Those having the entertainment in charge,
however, thought otherwise, and lost no
time in letting the late corners have their
view of the case.
When the word wascarried to the dressing
room, where the young fellows had gone
10 20 through the formality OF laying aside
their hats, that their presence was neither
they saw fit TO first return home and pat On
the regulation evening dress, their feelings
were muititudinous. AS a matter of TACT
they at first refused to believe the evidence
OF their own sense OF hearing. the
ultimatum had. however, gone forth and
the committee in charge Of the call re-
manned firm as a lock in tie matter.
ThrTeupon ths six young fellows procured
a bag Of flour. and as parting compliment
To the Bal Pondre, proceeded to IRE III
through one OF the windows of the hall room,
where itr distributed itself without dis
examination upon the floor and SeVeral OF
the young ladies. When in response To
this method OF proceeding one of the floor
committee followed the young fellows down
stairs to eXpostulate with them upon tke
uniooked-for events of the evening, be was
net by a reception Of the warmest kind, so
far as words were concerned, and finally re
tired from the scene, Judging that ia this
case discretion was indeed the better part
of yalor.
Conjecture is rnnnipg at lively rate as
to the ultimate outcome of the affair.
