JEFFERsON RANK norm,
An Adamless German Except One Old
Adam and They Didn't Mind Him

JEFFERSON PARK. August 2S.-Spe-
cial-Decidedly the most unique and
probably the most enjoyable event OF the
week was the german given on Monday
night by the ladies OF the hotel. Only the
girls I'm the house danced-not a man was
honored with an invitation except Mr.
Cabell. an old married man. who led the
difficult figures with an agility quite sur
prising In one OF his age.
He is quite the beau OF the springs.
notwithstanding the fact that "he has no
hair on the Top OF his head in the place
whore the hair ought 20 grow"
Dancing with Mr. Cahell was his hand
some wife. who wore an imported gown
OF black mousaeine de sole.
The debutantes were most becomingly
arrayed in fetching costumes OF organdy
and muslin with dainty trimmings such
as should deck out fair youth and limo
cence.
The names Of those participating in the
dance are as follows:
Miss Nell Warner. Baltimore. with Miss
woodward
Miss Miriam Mayheld, Galveston. with
Miss Lily Woodward.
Miss Page Nichols. Of Petersburg, with
Miss Walthall, OF Richmond.
Miss Lizzie Jones, of Stanton. WITH
Miss c. Woodward, Of Norfolk.
Miss Bessie Hunter OF Richmond, with
Miss Petit. OF Richmond.
Miss Florine Parrish, OF Richmond
with Miss Swift, Of Columbus.
Miss Emie Thomas, of Richmond, with
Miss Bertha Sioussat, OF Washington.
There were numerous stays who gave
the girls a Wild rush. Among them. there
were Misses Sloussat, OF Washington;
Thomas, OF Richmond: Goodrell, OF Wash
ington: Doggett. OF Fredericksburg
Haskell, OF San Francisco, and Swift Of
Columbus.
OF course under such exciting circum-
stances there was need OF a double line
OF chaperones who had their hands full
to prevent any spooning. as you may
readily imagine.
They performed their duty faithfully,
and for It deserve honorable mention.
And so / write them up with pride:
Mesdames Hunter. Thomas and Gum,
OF Richmond: woodward and Ingram, Of
Norfolk Bowles. OF stanton; Doggett,
OF Fredericksburg; Warner, Of Baltimore;
Roane Of Lynchburg; Goodrich, OF Wash
ington; Mayfeld, OF Galveston. Tex, and
Swift. Of Columbus. Ga.
Tuesday we had an unusually pretty
german There were so many couples on
the floor that successful efforts in guild
ing were rare and collisions frequent But
these only served 10 put the dancers in a
good humor and nobody came TO blows.
There were so many visiting men and
girls present that an extra car had 10 be
provided TO meet the emergency, and the
last OF the gay jewellers did not leave
the ballroom until long after mid-pight.
Among those in the figures, I noticed:
Mr.. William Wertenbaker. who led with
Miss Niche.
Mr.. Watson. with Miss Ruby Thomas.

Among the private entertainments. the
one extended by Mrs. Charles Ingram. OF
Norfolk, 10 the debutantes on Tuesday
evening, was most delightful.
The invitations were on engraved cards
and the hour appointed, II O'Clock. after
the german.
The courtesy was IN the form Of n
~
thing that could be desired. consisting Of
salads, sailed almonds, deviled eggs. ma
caroons and beautiful fruits.
The tempting repast was served in the
small dlning-room. which had been beau
TRULY decorated with grape-vines and
ferns. The centre-piece OF the table was
a vase OF ferns and white grapes. while
scattered on the white cloth were the
ferns OF the graceful maiden-halr variety.
