BALL.-The ball given at McBurney's
Hall last night by the Alexandria Gel
man Club in honor of the officers of the
Amerigo Vespucci was conceded to be
the society event of the season, and
much credit is due the committee who
had the affair in charge for the able
manner in which the arrangements wels
executed. The ballroom was prettily
and artistically decorated with flags OF
many nations, the Italian flag being
very conspicuous, and palms and
ferns were placed in every available
spot in the hall. The guests began 10
arrive about 8 o'clock and the scene
after that hour was inspiring in the ex-
IRENE, words being inadequate to de-
scribe the scene presented. 1t was an
occasion long to be remembered ard
cherished by all present. Youth and
beauty, combined with matronly digni-
ty, added q brilliancy that could not be
outshone. The event surpassed the ar
ticipations of all, and that these present
were pleased cannot be questioned.
The dance was one of the largest~at'
tended ever given by the club, nearly
500 persons being present. The glow
and glitter of the uniforms Of the Ital-
ian officers, their brilliant wit aud
charming dsferential manner added
much TO the entertainment, and Alex
andrians regret that their stay will end
on Monday. The chaperones were
Mrs. George Uhler, Mrs. Lycurgus

S. French aud Miss Nellie Wattles.
