Affair Ever Given Here.
Beautiful Gonut and a Wealth of
Color make Wondrously lleau
tiful .Picture.
UESDAY evenings Ger
man, at The Carolina,
was easily the most bril
liant affair of the char
acter ever held here,
replete with novel, pic
turesque and entertaining features which
detracted none from the unlimited enjoy
ment of the occasion. Of surprises there
were many, all cleverly worked out, and
they afforded merriment and entertain
ment for both participants and onlook
ers. The list of dancers numbered twenty
couples, and beautiful gowns combined
with a wealth of gay color, introduced
through favors and figures, to make a
wondrously beautiful scene, which will
not soon be effaced from memory's pic
ture gallery.
Introductions began at eight-thirty, the
patronesses, Mrs. James W. Tufts and
Mrs. II. W. Priest of Boston; Mrs. W. F.
Wilson of Pittsburg, and Miss Bruce of
New York, receiving; dancing com
mencing soon after nine with the Paul
Jones two step and circle.
Next came a favor figure in which fans
and gaily plumed wands were exchanged,
their color adding to the brilliancy of the
scene. Following came the tennis ball
figure in which the young women proved
conclusively that they could not throw,
but after many frantic efforts succeeded
in getting partners.
A favor figure came next, in which du
plicate souvenir postal cards were
matched in the selection of partners, fol
lowing which was the most amusing
frolic of the evening, in which dress
coated young men sat upon unsteady Po
land water bottles and threaded needles ;
the first to succeed winning a dance.
Next in order was the spectacular f ea
. ture of the evening, in which dainty vari
colored parasols and gold headed and
garlanded Louis XIV canes were ex
changed as favors; a dance being fol
lowed by an intricate march ; the whole
culminating in a wonderfully beautiful
tableaux effect.
Close after came the surprise of the
evening and its novelty, the "chariot
race," in which four young women,
driven by a young man, and a like num
ber of young men driven by one of the
fair sex, thundered into the hall unex
pectedly, and after a "mad race" came
together in the centre of the hall;
"steeds" and "charioteers'? dancing to
gether. The next number was the evening's
partner favor figure, the gifts being
"dear" little Teddy bears for the women
presided at the favor tables, and Mr.
Thomas II. Bauchle, Jr., of New York,
led, "stag." Music was furnished by
The Carolina orchestra, Prof .Trev. Sharp,
director, and refreshments were served
at intermission. The success of the affair
was largely due to the interest and effort
of a committee comprising Mr. Bauchle,
Mrs. Jillson and Miss Priest.

and sterling scarf pins for the men. Fol
lowing came the familiar parasol figure,
the program closing with a two step, in
which everybody pelted everybody else
with confetti or serpentine tape, the
whole making a melee wonderful to be

field in June ; a fitting ending to an even
ing of merrymaking.
