About thirty young ladies' of the

hotel was selected as the "sancto
sanctorum" and in this chamber of
secrecy, several hours passed rapidly
In singing, dancing and other forms
of amusement. While all men were
excluded, the young ladies, recognize
ing the incompleteness of an affair at
which the male sex was not repre-
sented, supplied this deficiency very
vigorously. In lieu or the real ar
ticle. half of the assemblage appeared
in the roles of pseudo gentlemen, and
from all accounts ably upheld the dig
nifty of the sex. The affair was an
April fool party in the sense that it
was planned to fool the young gentle
men of the city. but it is whispered
that in this particular II was not a
complete success and that before the

OF reciprocity was invoked and the
foolers fooled.
