The San Francisco call., 1898-01-16

The "U B. O." Club entertained a number of its friends on New Years eve at a Farmers Dance,' given at the residence of Miss Bessie Baxter on Leavenworth street. It was a novel af- fair, as all of the guests as well as the members of the club were obliged to come in farmers attire. When the party were all gathered together to have fiashlight picture taken of the group in their grotesque costumes it made quite an amusing spectacle. The dancing pro- gramme included many old-time dances which have long been cast aside, but which furnished great amusement for the guests.
 The decorations, which were attended to by the young ladies of the club, were profuse and artistic. The parlors were massed with evergreens, red berries and palms, and large punches of holly ber- ries and mistletoe depended from the lighted chandeliers. In the center of the table was a large bunch of red carna- tiOnS tied with an immense bow Of red satin ribbon.
 Dancing was suspended at midnight, when an elaborate supper was enjoyed, after which dancing and games were re- stunned until 2 a. m. Ed Baxter acted as toastmaster.
