the beauty of the scene The low music
 of the band stationed at the end of the
 lawn was the fitting accompaniment for
 this vision of lovliness. It was almost
 with sigh as if awakening from a dream
 that one left the lawn and turned to the
 ballroom, the bril1iancy of which seemed
 almost an unwefcome change; but soon
 the eye became accustomed to the glare of
 the light, the ear to the crash of music
 and the patriotic strains of the Star
 Spangled Banner" imparted themselves,
 and the ball was set in motion The first
 ball of the season. It was not large as the
 succeeding balls will be, but 1t was large
 enough to be thoroughly enjoyed. Owing
 to the many parties of gentlemen who
 came for the occasion the beaux far out
 numbered the belles. Among the most
