NEW YEAR,s DANCE
The Young Men Of Middietown Give
Brilliant Bali

GUS for her dances, and this time she ex
ceIled herself. Several hundred invita-
| tions had been sent out and as many al
could do so, accepted the invitations
Last year the dance was given by tlIs
Young ladies, and when the Young mef
want to get ahead Of the young women d
Middletown, they have to get up ana
hustle. This time they hustled with 9
will, and every thing passed off charm
, ingly, although we will not admit that
any dance could be nicer than the one
given last year by the ladies.
The Opera House, was decorated with
holly and flags, and the ladies in beauti.
fnl evening dresses and the young men IN
full dress suits made the scene a brilliant
one. Eiiott's Orchestra of Wilmington.
