A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.
The Leap Year Ball At Annex Hall
Last Thursday Night a
Brilliant Success.

Although there may have been social
gatherings in Canon City during the
current winter with larger guest list
none have surpassed in enjoyment and
in graceful hospitality the Leap Year
Ball given under the auspices OF
coterie OF ladies at Annex hall last
Thursday night. 1t was an event OF
more than ordinary interest to the
devotees of the Terphiscorean art and
the committee in charge of the ar
ranpements have reason to felicitate
themselves upon the eminently sue,
cessful manner in which their plan OF
entertainment was carried into execu-
ton. ....
The hall was handsomely decorated
for the occasion, and, with its large
company of pleasure seekers, presented
a scene of unusual beauty and anima-
ton The music was furnished by
Casser's orchestra of Oolorad o Springs,
admitted to- be the finest organiza-
tion of ITS kind in the state, and the
allurements to the dancers to indulge
in the maze. of the waltz was quite
irresistible Delicious ices we're served
on the main floor of the hall during
the earlier hours of the evening; the
more substantial refreshments being
served in the balcony at IL 80. There
we're forty couples, and, like the guests
at the famons ball in Brussels, they
s'obeyed no wand but pleasures"
10th to leave the gaieties OF the
place and the pleasures of the environ
ment the dancing was kept up till long
after midnight when the "wee sma
hours" admonished the merry makers
of the approach of another day, al
though few Of the guests in anticipa-
tion of the morrows business stole
silently away to their homes at the
zenith of the night to get what sleep
they could before Aurora should gild
the eastern sky with her radiance.
The committee commissioned to make
the arrangements for the ball and see
that they were properly carried into
execution was composed of hesdames
Kohlman, Waters, Craven, Carrier,
Dozier, Hardy and Palmer, and, to a
very considerable degree, the success
of the affair was due to their untiring
efforts to make the occasion a notable
one. 1t was distinct triumph for the
ladies and standard Of entertain ment
was reached which it will be hard to
equal.
There we're number of out-of-town
people present, among whom we're Mr..
and Mrs. A. G. Koch and Miss Cora
Peabody of Denver, Mr.. and Mrs, Chas.
