The Sheridan Ball.

Sheridan has once more made good its
reputation for giving some of the most
delightful dancing parties ever had on
| this side.
The Leap Year ball, which occurred
on New Years night, was an elabo-
rate and well attended affair.
There was generous response from
all over the valley, with the result
that Sheridan Hall was filled to its ut
most dancing capacity.
The second half of the ball brought
out the principal features of the occa-
sion.
Denmark had the floor for a full half
hour, when "Eins, Zwei, Drei und
Vier," suffered three roaring encores.
Then again, at 2:30 A. NJ, the I'M
married ladies were declared the rulers
of the floor. The boys, who usually,
at intermissions, roam the floor, max
ing goo-goo eyes at one or the other
girls, were at that time ordered to the
benches on the east side of the hall,
where they, subsequently, presented a
striking picture of expectation
Then came the opportunity for all to
learn the girls choices.
\ few of the latter showed a plain
indecision as to their best fellows, for
some called on as many as three differ
ent boys as partners in the giddy
whirl
As matter of course, the married
ladies were compelled to ask their hub
bies, which indeed was sad imposi-
sion on the freedom usually enjoyed
in bathrooms.
The "Good Old Summer Time"
struck good many as au odd tune to
be called for by the ladies on taking
charge of the floor, at time, when
the thermometer was making a heroic
effort to reach the zero mark.
The supper, served by Mrs. Clara
Fountain, was both sumptuous and
delicious.
The music by Martin Morrison, Vic
tor Bull and Willie Hanson could not
have been any better. o. H.
