The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-01-31
Fancy Ball.

The Visitation Academy of this city
was the scene of delightful entertain
ment on the 18th inst. AT p. IN. the
young ladies, charmingly attired, filed
into the spacious hall to the strains of
Sousa's King Cotton March, rendered
by Rhodes Orchestra. The hall was
beautifully decorated with palms and
ported plants diversified by softly col
ored lights. The march, in which
many interesting figures were intro
duced, gave ample opportunity for all
to admire the tasteful costumes of the
youthful masqueraders. This was fol-
lowed by the Spanish Polka, gracefully
danced by the little Misses Miller, Cas-
sin and CarInaugh. The audience was
next held spell-bound by the popular
little dancer, Miss Marie Hardin, whose
Light fantastic toe" tripped the Jockey
dance. Then all once more joined in
the maze of the Serpentine dance, and
as they glided over the well waxed
floor, they were led through the intri-
cate winnings of the dance by one of
Robin-Hood's men, Miss NJ Entwisle.
Ere departing for the banquet hall
little Misses Fitzpatrick and Goode,
charminglv danced the Highland
Fling, Immediately after which the
familiar sounds of the Academy gong
warned each of the happy party to
claim her partner and proceed to the
dining hall, there to partake of the
sumptuous repast laid temptingly be-
fore them. The tables groaned beneath
their weight of every variety of sub
stantials and delicacies, to which the
young ladies did full justice, after
which the jolly party repaired once
more to the ball room, and the enticing
strains of the waltz soon tempted all
to join in the merry whirl. COnspic-
uOus among the dancers were: Robin
Hood and his Merry Men, whose at
tractive attire excited no little admira-
ton. The following is a list of the
