been whispered about that the ball
was 70 be a sort of hard times social"
where society would appear in rag, tag
and calico. Still another bit Of gossip
was TO the effect that there would be
primitive dances after the pattern of
the barn door dance" etc Those
among the guests with a sense of hu-
NOR are smiling and telling the joke,

Mardi Grss affair. and so probably the
gossip relative to the costumes turned
the talk upon the first cotilIon. which
will not be distinguished from other
society dances OF the winter in this
festive manner.
By the way. the dances viii be sue
cessful affairs. which is not surprising,
bit is always q pleasant assurance.
