The si. j si p in the front was given up ..ole)/ to the ladies for s dressing room, while the gentlemeu bad an apartment cut off from the hall by a handsome portiere, in which to bestow their fascinators, powder boxes and other ieap year parapher¬ nalia.

The effect was celestial, and the march was real fun, notwithstanding that some of the gentlemen looked as if they were afraid of being ac cused of light conduct. There was quite a number of new figures, the perfect execution of which reflec- ■> great credit upon the eharming , . i„r, who was ably assisted by her energetic partner. At 11 o’clock there was a short intermission for refreshments, after which the dancers began again to chase the hours with flying feet the “wee sma’hours” bad obtained quite a respectable size by the time the belles of the evening laid their tired heads upon their downy piliows, to dream of Germans, pretty girls and the variouk things that occupy the dear boy debutante.

Griffin is noted for the consider ate attention of her young gentle men, and the delightful entertain ment they gave their lady friends at the home of Miss Flora J^nes, last Thursday evening, s only another proof of their never failing conrtesy and kindness. When first you reach ed the scene, it appeared almost as a glimpse from fairy-land. The most exquisite floweis graced the rooms, a mass of daisies and green ferns nodded their bright welcome over the open portal, soft lights cast their golden radiance over sweet roses aud jessamine, and the fairest flowers shed their fr agrance everywhere. Tiie hours sped by on silvery .Vet, pursued by mirth and laughter, and “ali went merry as a marriage beli,” Long before time had been given to weary of the brilliant scene, deli cious refreshments were served, and dainty ices added their portion to the enjoyment of the evening. When the chiming of the clock warned the merry-makers that morn was stealing in, the last goodnights were said, and they issued forth into tfie dark ness with a lingering glance at the beautil’ni home, where the hours had passed so pleasantly.
