Events.

Odd Fellows Hall. 1nlS IS tne nISt tlihe
in the past six years that there has
not been violent storm and that the
snow-white canvas, the finest OF its kind
for dancing, has not been ruined.
The hall was not expected to look par
ticularly we'll last evening, but still it did
make quite a pretty appearance. The
guests were unusually late in arriving, and
in consequence supper was not announced
until 1880.
The seasons debutantes were all present
and looked particularly pretty in their
new white frocks. OF course they were all
bellies, and it was not long before they got
over their fright There are some strik-
ingly handsome and pretty girls among
them. They are all very good dancers and
fully hold up the reputation this City is
gaining for beautiful girls. The music,
under the direction of Valentine Huber,
was especially good, and some OF the new
pieceS recently brought out from the East
proved to be as good as was expected.
The waits were not long. and there was
spirited dancing until o'clock, the hour
a which all the club meetings stop.
As the party was generally considered 10
be a debutantes' gathering, the decorations
of the ballroom were all light in color,
with sufficient background OF green shrub
berry to show off the beautiful effects of the
decorators art. Over the stage was fes-
tooned blue and white gauze, while the
same was dropped over the front. The
whole stage was filed with immense
plants and ferns, with several large
bouquets of different colored chrysanthe-
NUNS. Along the gallery were shields of
blue and white, alternating with ground
of white and gold in squares, the whole
surmOunted with punches OF ferns. Above
were several high fan-shaped arrangements
of white and blue standing up from the
gallery railing, and from the center of the
ceiling were suspended streamers of the
gauze, at the ends of which were either an
umbl ella or large lantern. Opposite the
stage, over the main door, was a large cir
cular design bound with ferns. New white
canvas on the floor added to the beauty of
the scene, and protected the gowns of the
ladies. The halls were also covered with
canvas of darker shade.
The management of the club has always
paid particular attention to the supper
rooms, and here the comfort of the men,
bers was fully considered. All drafts were
shut out by storm screens, and over the
heavy burlap mating was new crash of
a green color, with neat figure thereon.
The pillars were entwlned with smilaX and
ferns, and an elaborate supper was served
upon the numerous tete-a-tete tables. The
supper hour was most agreeably spent,
and then the dancers again sought the
main ballroom, where the dancing was re-
sumed and kept up until reasonably late
hour.
At the next gathering on December 20
the Christmas cotillon will be the feature.
Miss Jessie Coleman came over from
Oakland to attend the assembly, and wore
one of her new gowns of pink brocade,
which admirably suited her blonde COM
plexIon.
