The leader., 1897-01-06

70 hasten WITH us reSlstlesS mlrtn, its
flowing music and flying feet the
weary old sentinel of 90; who, ere he
sunk among the tombs of time, crown
ed this notable event queen of all the
radiant galaxy of society entertain
ments, known to the social history of
our little city. Every appointment
was as elegant and perfect as the most
faultless hostess could desire or pro-
vide within the private precincts of
her own beautiful home. Prof.
Leake's band furnished exquisite
music, while the dancing, the flowers,
the sparkling eyes and flashing gems,
the white arms and radiant costumes
made kaleidoscope picture of color
and beauty, proudly noted by matrons
and men who knew ''Old Brook" in the
long ago. To Messrs. John E. Seavey
and Louis Monteville, too much praise
cannot be given for their wise planning
of an entertainment, that eliminated
in so brilliant an achievement.
