The one eliminating purpose, apparently,
on the part OF the Martins was to give
n ball which should surpass in grandeur
any ever before given in New York. To
do this it was necessary to spend more
money than W K . Vanderbilt did when
his wife, now Mrs o. H P Belmont.
gave her fashionable ball on March 26,
1883, fourteen years ago. for there has
been no really great affair of the kind
since, and certainly there was nothing like
it before. New York measures its fancy
ball steps by three of the greatest of its
events. The first was Nine Brugiere's
ball in 1923. given at her residence on
Bowling Green Then came that OF Mrs.

In the absence of the Noble Grand,

follows that he presided with becoming
dignity and grace.
Owing TO the time OF preparation
being limited the literary programme
uas short but good.
Addresses were made by w. II. A.
Pike, \ A. Hunmel and Chairman
Bellam, and the guests were then in a
mood to feast on s~ubstantlals.
Card games and chatter then took up
the time till midnight at which hour
the guests departed, happy in the
thought OF an evening protitably spent.
The occasion was a most enjoyable
one and such events go far towards
making social life in Wadsworth agree
able and pleasant.

EN- by the Rathbone Sisters in Music
Hall. On anniversaries heretofore the
social success attained has always been
very prominent and the affair is looked
forward to very eagerly by all who like
to participate when the arrangements
are perfect.
We call to mind that many stunning
gowns were worn by the fair ones and
the scene in the ball room was beauti-
full, a sea of soft colors. We hope that
every stranger in town that evening will
attend the ball aud see the harmony oil
our social life in WaisWorth and our
happy handsome women and g"od-look-
ing men. A glance at the names OF the
ladies who have this dance in hand will
give assurance of an elegant time.

Rev. T. l.. Bellam acted az Master oil

evening the program was called. Mrs.

pleased everybody. Helen knows how

Bishop can make his hearers laugh as

as usual, very interesting. Mr.. Bellam,
who is right at home on such occasions,
made some exceedingly good remarks
which ended the literary exercises.
All were happy and in the atmos-
phere OF that good order none could be
otherwise. Grandpa dunlap thought
he was the youngest man in the hall
and it did us good to see him in IA world
of happiness.
DR.. Jackman said his appetite was not
good but to substantiate this he ate all
the cake within his reach and all the
bananas he could and upon invitation
put a couple in his Prince Albert pocket,
saying, when he had sat down on them,
that the bananas were nice and ripe.
Games, dancing and social paslime
lasted till twelve o'clock when the
