in Which They Made Their
Party a Success.

took place last Thursday night, aid the
word Success gives only the slightest
idea OF what a pleasant enjoyable time
t~ranspired. The crowded hall buzzed
with expectation as 8 O'Clock passed and
the grand march had not been announc-
ed. The caller engaged for the evening
had failed to appear, and why he failed
~"deponent saith naught,' and the
young ladies were as much in the dark
as the assembled guests. Heroic meas
much persuasion a good natured young
man, who will always be remembered
by the girls with tears of gratitude,
stepped up to the callers post and did
the honors of the evening in a manner
which pleased all. At $50 the grand
march formed and moved, headed by
Prof. V. Dornberger and Miss Mamie
Lane, and it was a marvel of motion,

waxed fast and furious from then until
supper time and many an old score
was repaid by the girls on the men who
pick only a chosen few. Leap year rules
were strictly observed but good floor
management left no wall flowers. In
the future the male floor directors will
have to get more than a move on them
selves to please a critical public. The
directors were Miss G.. Dunlope and
Miss Mamie Lane, seconded by Misses
Bellam, Spidel and Budden. a hungry
crowd stampeded into Mrs. Pope's
residence at the call of supper and what
a supper it wasl Ye Gods! the writer
ate everybody ate and If al overloaded
stomach hadn't called a halt, Mrs. Nc
Culloch. who furnished the meal, would
have had to make an assignment by this
time. 1t has been pronounced a ball
supper never equaled in the town.
Dancing continued until daylight and
someone told us that several very weary
dancers had to be assisted home. But
we. wont vouch for this. One of the
largest. incest crowds we have ever seen
in Music Hall attended, and new music
selected by Miss Nellie Madden, who
presided at the piano assisted by VIM.
Cascagnette, violin lead, 5. Peak, cornet
and II. Perdue, bass viol, was a treat
thoroughly enjoyed by both dancers and
spectators. Dainty programmes were q
feature, inscribed with an appropriate
verse written by Mrs. Thos. Bryant,
while exceedingly pretty decorations
made the dingy old hall look gay with
color. The dresses worn by the ladies
were very neat and tasty, and just the
thing for the occasion. Criticisms were
the current and \ feeble attempt of a
few is all we can publish.
Harry Owens bright eyes beamed
forth from beneath delicate stain color
ed locks worn low on an alabaster brow.
His necktie was a dream in silk and
the envy OF every Tutoring manly heart
in the room. A decided blonde with
hair ornamented with a new brand of
hair oil. The gay gentleman had as
many admirers as any one in the hall.
Tom Fitzgerald had his usual party
face along with him and u sore corn. A
delicate odor of Hanson's salve was
noticeable as he swept through the
mazes of the dance.
Billy Brown had his hair curled on
his neck with a large expanse of Henry
Clay forehead visible. His boomers
bagged family at the knee. He was
pronounced a dear sweet thing.
Seymour Jacobs should have been
first choice as a belle OF the evening.
His panties were just correctly creased,
his diamond pin dimmed the 1000 an
die power lights and his delicate razor
pointed shoes were the envy OF all who
beheld them. He was PRONOUNCED by
the ladies as a brunette of striking
points.
Dick Cowles was tastefully draped
in a last years suit, which served to re-
veal more than hide the enhancing
curves Of his delicate form. The mar
ried ladies' declared he WAS irreproach-
able. His hair was dressed u la curry.

Admiring eyes followed Martin Kline
as he whirled through the giddy waltz.
and it is mentioned with pride that he
only knocked down four couple in the
course Of the evening. He is Il d
