CGSSfEl Affair Of Many
Seasons.
1t would be like carrying
GOALS to Newcastle to inform
my one that the participants in
the Pavilion party last evening
had a glorious time; everyone
is sure of that without being
told. The affair, unique in de
sign, whore courtesy supplanted
gallantry and the young gen
slemen Of the city had only to
accept the gracious favors of
the young ladies who gave the
lancing party in the honor of
their gentlemen friends, was
not only delightful for the de-
oarture from the conventional
but for the perfection which
characterized the slightest de-
tail. Early in the evening the
gentlemen received their ball
boquet in regular accredited
style. The boquet was small
but exceedingly choice and the
lavishness of the ribbon stream
ers made up for size of boquet.
About 8 o'clock when the timid
masculine representatives of
the party-to-be were primping
md viewing themselves before
The mirror, they were individ-
tally called for by the young
'aly who had solicited the
favor of their company. The
gentlemen were seated in car
riages, the ladies cvincing much
solicitude in regard to their
comfort, and all were driven to
the Pavilion at the fair
grounds, which was trans
formed into a thing Of lowell
ness. Pictures, curtains, Jap
anese lanterns, brilliant lights,
and generous festoonings of
asparagus all lent themselves
to the prettiness of the scene.
Comfortable seats were pro-
vided, cosy corners were in evil
lence, one corner was devoted
to wall flowers, and another
called alluringly to lovers. A
frappe bowl presided over by
Misses Helen Noyes and Josie
Johnson added to the comfort
and pleasure of the company.
After the slightest want of the
gentlemen had received due at
tention from the ladies', the
New Theatre orchestra sent
out allurlng strains and a grand
march was formed, participated
in by about eighty happy,
laughing young society people.
The march was led by Messrs
and Mesdames Geo. A. Kellogg
and Charles Deur, who were
the patrons and patronesses of
the gay company. The march
ended in a cotillion which be-
gan promptly at 10 o'clock.
Miss Eleanor Fensler was Mas
ter of Ceremonies. The dane
ing continued until l o'clock in
the morning and it must be
said in recognition of the gra-
cious courtesy of the ladies
that the corner devoted to "wall
flowers" was by no means in
use during the evening. The
lovers corner received full
mead of patronage. The favols
distributed during the grand
march were little Japanese caps
for the ladies and Jap ties for
the gentlemen. Partners for
the different figures in the
cotillion were selected by ia
vors consisting of licorice coons
ornamented with yellow ribbon,
and hand painted flowers. The
color scheme of the evening
was yellow and green, the flow
ers golden glow. Placards
around the hall warned the
gentlemen on penalty of a fine
to not transgress certain con-
ventionalities. About 2 o'clock
the ladies escorted the gentle
men to Fred Douglass New
Cafe, where a banquet was
served which was as perfect as
the other features of the even
ing. The gentlemen who were
so fortunate as to have been
guests are loud in the praise of
the success of the ladies and
the elegance of the affair, and
so another red letter is marked
in the lives Of a number of our
young people. Out of town par
Elephants were Miss Nellie Nc
MILAN, Danville, ILL.,, Mr.. and
Mrs. Guy Axtell, Omaha; Misses
