With the coming of the Governors
party came the other guests of the
evening, and the body of the hall was
but Notwithstanding the jam OF people
il was an animated and pretty picture
to gaze upon. 1t was a representative
gathering Of the people of the State
and a good looking one withal, and the
handsome and varied costumes of the

Then came the dance. When the
orchestra sounded the call for the
grand promenade the party on the floor
Was OF such proportions that it was Il
source OF wOnderment how anyone
found room to dance at all. And there
scarcely was room, and though the
dancers bumped into one another it
was all taken in good part, for every
one was out for a good time and all
saw to it that they had it.
