A DE4IGHYFUL AFFAIR.

A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.
Superlative adjectives are neces-
sary to describe the delightful pri-
yate leap year dance which was given
In the Madison building last night
under the auspices of a few promi-
nent young ladies from the southern
section of the city. About seventy
five couples attended and without an
exception pronounced the affair
charming in every particular. Leap
year regulations were closely adher-
ed to ana proved novel and amusing.
Some unique ideas were carried out
in the dancing numbers and caused
much merriment. The decorations
were exquisite and harmonized
~splendidly with the pretty white
lingerie dresses of the fair sex. The
affair was entirely informal and only
q few bordered on conventional
evening attire. Such a decided sue
cess was the dance that another will
be held shortly, only next time the
expenses will not be borne by the
ladies. Won Spreckelson catered and
G. Howard Smiths orchestra fur
nished music. Green pennants in
scribed appropriate of the occasion
were the favors. The p~atronesses
were: Mrs. j. S. Taylor, Mrs. S. l..
Dover, Mrs. C. A. Durham, Mrs.
Samuel Bayard, Mrs. o. Schroeder,
Mrs. Fl. M. Nickenig, Mrs. J. G. Hoke,
