MISS KELLY GIVES
DELIGHTFUL PARTY
DANCE AT THE cASTANEDA LAST
NIGHT Is PRETTlEsT EVENT
OF THE SUMMER

Miss Helen Kelly entertained last
night at a delightful dancing party at
the Hotel Castaneda. The function
was in honor of Miss Kelly's house
guests, Miss Margaret Gross and Miss
Madonna Hogan of st. Louis. A large
number of guests had been hidden to
enjoy the hospitality of Miss Kelly,
who was assisted in entertaining by
her father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry w. Kelly. It was a handsome
ly gowned company of ladies' that was
led into the ball room by their part
ners when the grand march sounded
shortly after 9 o'clock. The guests
included both the younger and older
society sets.
Music of the most delightful nature
was furnished by an orchestra. An
enjoyable feature of the music and
one that was original with Miss Kelly
was the playing of ragtime airs as en-
cores to the waltzes and reversing
the order when Tragedy dances
were scheduled on the program This
gave the devotees of the new dances
an opportunity to have a good time,
which they were not slow in doing,
and furnished those who have not
mastered the latest hesitations and
one-steps a chance to have an equally
good time.
The refreshments were elaborate
and were served on the east yeranda
of the Castaneda, which surrounds the
enclosed lawn. Tables had been
spread at regular intervals, and the
dancers, forming congenial parties,
enjoyed the delicious repast while lis
tening to the music and watching,
through the dining room windows,
other followers of Terpsichore as they
glided about the room. In the billiard
room long serving tables were spread
the viands being most beautifully dis
played. Here the Casaneda's best
looking mattresses assisted the guests
in helping themselves to their favorite
dishes. Or, if one cared to do so, the
food was brought to the table where
one elected to sit. The greater por-
ton of the guests preferred to visit
the billiard room, as the eatables
were so daintily displayed that to
have missed a peep at them would
have been a misfortune.
Mr. Daniel Kelly of Trinidad and
Mr.. George Brown of Denver were
and assisted Miss Kelly in
entertaining. Miss Ruth Laughlin of
Santa Fe was another out-of-town
guest, of whom there were several.
The affair was the most elaborate
party ever given in Las Vegas, and.
like all functions at the Kelly home.
be they large or small was jolly and
with a spirit of hospitality
that made every guest feel more than
glad to be present

 Temporary Chair W II. Denson took his place and proceeded to deliver we'll prepared speech. He was then a lawyer of Birmingham, but had been United States district attorney in Presi- dent Clevelands first term, 1SS5-S9. and for one term represented the Seventh district in Congress. He had been chair
 man of the memorably strong party
 convention of 1890 and then won uni-
 versal praise.
 MT. Denson said there should be no
 concealment of the spirit of opposition to "Convention'' that prevailed In the
 white counties. He had used his op-
 portunities in that quarter to appeal
 for generous consideration of the
 need of the black belt for new con
 stitution. He should vote Convention
