Vanity Fair gave a dance at the home, °f Mr John L. Hilton, Wednesday, De-

cember 28, at 8 p. m.The night was a beautiful one and the

, brilliant moon cast its soft rays uponmany teams bound for the above home.Hr. and Mrs. Hilton were most cordialIn their reception and. made os feel

. qnite at home.At 8 30 the music arrived and we were

not long in securing partners fora quad-rille. The spacious hall was soon thescene of sn animated assembly andmany were the little sentences and•miles exchanged as we went throughthe figures.

Dancing seemed to be qnite popularfor when one would gaxe into the par-lor only a couple were seen in a remotecorner seemingly engrossed in a seriousconversation.

At intervals during the dances cakeand lemonade were passed and cocoanntcake was again partaken of by somewho wished to bring back memories of“departed eate" Many toasts were madeand especially those foe our genial hostand hostess. The Three Blind Micewere present (in their glory 7) and ofcoarse it was second nature for them togive toasts for the “Shining Stars.” Thothey see not, they hear and patientlylistened for a word (but they could notsee it) at last through the aid of a friendtbvv wen made *n

Such remarks could be beard.—Wau't the street! “She tent the Prideof the bail'' “IJotr cute the looked in red!“ Well the always doe* look *treel ! Theyoung men of course are nut so con-ceited as to imagine they were a subjectof discourse in the other room.

The Xmas meeting of “Vanity Fair”was held at the home of Mr. Win. FrankFord, Monday, December 26, at 1.80 p. m.

The meeting was well attended, but

owing to the absence of some of the fairsex the assembly was quite unequal.At 8 p. m. the President Miss EdithFord called the meeting to order andthe Secretary announced the evening

program, viz:Chorus, Van it? Fair Glee Club.Song, Mr. Reybnrn Bradshaw.Instru. Duet, Miss E. and L. Ford.Reading, Mr. Derfiy Lynch.Vocal Solo, Miss Lillian Ford.Chorus, Glee Club.Song, Dr. R. C. Bradshaw.After the above program was render-

ed the few proffered gentlemen endeav-ored to gain a short chat with “VanityFair’s” better half, hut some endeavoredin vain while others fate smiled uponmore generously and allowed them more

time than the limit. But it happenedthat it should not be always thus fursoon we were invited to partake of thedelicacies of the season. The girls es-

pecially must have been suffering from

the paugs of hunger for they took theirexit in a body and the dignified remain-

der of the society had the pleatantf priv-

ilege of also following in a body andstill after we gained the place of repastwe remained thus till a toast was madefor the *tar of the evening and thisseemed to break the spell and soon the

Blind Mice were playing hovoc withsome excellent cccoanut cake. Toastswere made for the Shining Stars, BlindMice, Vanity Fair: f.nd many could beheard given by the Three Blind Mice.

After doing justice to the refreshment*we again returned to the parior and

more music, chats and tete-tete were in-dulged in. How soon the time did flyand the lime for departure came to soon.

i The “Whhecap Euchre Club," mau-¦ aged entirely by the young ladle* of the

on bia part formed the basis ofa ex-cuse for his sadden disappearance. Butthe “Whitecaps” managers were un-daunted and seemed determined to rap-ture the poor, lonely, forsaken bachelor;if not “tingle-handed ” then with • Club.They rendezvoused near the “Head ofthe Bay” and proceeded in a body to laysiege to bis loneliness. When St thecitadel, the line of march was formed;the ladies going to the front ranks, the

gentlemen retiring to the rear. FairLuna bid her face in shame at thethought that mother earth would permitsuch a scene. First the ladies tried abomb (sstic) shelling and when thefragments of wit had al l been clearedaway a volley of Win(d) cheaters follow-ed. The fort could not withstand such

blows and a flickering light in the reargave evidence that an entrance could beeffected there.

We bad not deciphered“the handwriting on the wall” and likeBelshazzar of old were captured “amidrevelries ” We all sang “Hail to theChief’ and surrendered.

. |Then, left unmolested, our feast went

on and it was not until the wee smallhours of the morning that the nightwhitecaps put on their white nightcapsand retired to dream of pleasures thatare no more.

Although most enjoyable; it was avery partial affair.

The moon was even in partial eclipse.Our poetess was partial to the gentlemenhaving taken their part in every game.The cold north wind was partial to thecouple that manoeuvred to be the lastto U-ave in order that they might driveslowly and did not chill them.
