THE POLITE WORLD

hall on South Main street by number
Of the society women of the city compli-
mentary to their gentlemen friends. The
hall was In gala attire for the occasion,
being enlivened by flags of all sizes. An
immense one hung from the center of
the building and others were arranged
with artistic effect over the walls, and
facing of the balcony. The whole pre-
sented an animated and beautiful scene
when the guests had all congregated,
the women in their elegant gowns and
their pretty faces being accentuated by
the powdered hair and patches. In &C
cordance with time-honored custom OF
leap year ceremonies, the ladies acted
as escorts and in no way were they for
getful OF their sterner partners, many OF
whom were remembered by huge bou-
quets tied with bright ribbons. The la
dies were most assiduous in their care
of their guests, and the last dance ter
minated an evening that was replete
with pleasure for all, and reflects much
credit upon the hostesses in the charm
ing management of the whole.
The german was led by Mrs. r. ].
Widney and Miss Swaine. assisted by
Mrs. AL Barker and Miss May Corson.
A number of the figures were new and
all OF them extremely pretty. They
were the cicilian circle, the Maltese
cross, the circus hoop and the leap-year
cart. The latter was a genuine sur
prise to the men and was unique. Two
small pony carts were drawn by twelve
ladies with shoulder harness of satin
ribbon with bells attached. Four gen
tlemen were chosen by numbers, and
these had the pleasure of being drawn
around the hall to the great amusement
OF all. The favored men were also pre-
sented with silver whip pins. The favor
tables were presided over by Mrs. Will
lard Stimson and Mrs. Modini Wood.
The favors were whips and gold and

of patriotism to the affair. Those dane
