Fair Men and Brave Women
Enjoy q Dance and

The ability of the ladies' OF Little
Falls to provide pleasant enter
tainment has not been questioned,
but it was demonstrated on Tues
day evening, to the great delight of
their fortunate guests. Dancing did
not begin very early, AS we regret to
say that some Of the gentlemen had
the very poor taste to expend an
unusual time on their toilet, in some
cases almost ruffling the tempers Of
the delayed ladies. We all know
such things are wrong. But that
was a trifling feature that some
times precedes ordinary gatherings
with different conditions. But the
dance, it was most enjoyable, after
the gentlemen had abandoned some
of their extreme shyness. The
arrangements had all been perfected
with an attention to detail seldom
equalled. There were over fifty
couple present, and it is certain that
the efforts of the ladies to please
their guests were entirely successful.
There were eleven numbers danced
before the excellent refreshments
were served in the Hotel Buchanan
dining room. The party ended
about O'Clock.
