A DANCE.

n DFhlNSC.
The Dancing Party given on
Friday night by the Misses
Dillon, in honor of their guests,
Messrs Walsh and Corney, Of
Waukesha, Wis, was one of
the most delightful functions
of this phenominally gay holi-
dav season. The Opera House
was beautifully decorated for
the occasion and the guests
were cordially received by Mr..
and Mrs y. S. Robertshaw,
parents of the young hostesses.
The ball was opened by Miss
Carson and Mr.. Dysart in the
Grand March, after which the
programs were distributed by
Master Carson Eakle to the
lady guests and tiny Miss Ger
trude Robertshaw to the gentle-
men. The usual compliment of
waltzeS and two steps was IN
dulged in by the dancers with
much enjoyment, one very
unique feature occurring when
the orchestra struck up the
waltz Sweet Bunch Of Daisies"
first one and then another of
| the walters took up the refrain
until the entire party joined IN
the song, singing aud dancing
together. The pretty spec tacle
was received with enthusias TIC
applause by the spectators.
The beauty of the toilets sur
passed, if possibleS even those of
the previous night at the Mer-
