MANY NEW FEATURES !
Invitation Cotillon at Tbe Carolina a
Charming Affair.
9Ir. IT. O. CurtU Itat U and MIm Carew
the Leaden-9Iany Exqulaite
Toilette i.arg-e Attendance.
An invitation cotillon at The Carolina,
Thursday evening, arranged by Mr. II.
O. Curtis Davis of New York city, was
one of the most select and brilliant of
the social affairs which have made the
present season notable. The partici
pants were many and the ballroom was
crowded with onlookers. Dancing be
gan at nine and ceased at eleven-thirty.
Mr. Davis and Miss Carew led, bring
ing forth many new figures, which
ranged- from the picturesque to the
amusing. The favors were particularly
attractive : Japanese fans, rosebud
boutonnieres and little oddities for the
women, and Japanese parasols, tobacco
pouches and the like for the men.
Among the new figures was one in
which six men fanned ping-pong balls
across the floor to four women waiting at
the head of the hall. The first four to
accomplish this somewhat trying task,
were rewarded with a dance and the two
unfortunates were obliged to dance to
gether, much to their discomfiture and
to the keen edification of the others.
In the candle figure six men were
given matches with which to light a
similar number of candles. The first
four to light their candles and reach
the women waiting at the head of the
hall, were rewarded with a dance ; the
two laggards dancing together.
Another figure which furnished a
spirited contest was one in which six
men were forced to wind several yards
of yarn about their forefingers before
they were permitted to dance. In this
figure also, two men were left to dance
together.
The putting figure furnished a contest
for the women and offered an opportuni
ty for a display of golfing skill. Six
men at the opposite end of the hall
made a desperate scramble for the four
golf balls which came their way, the
possession of one which meant a dance.
There were numerous favor figures
and several marches and circles.
The Toilettes.
Many new and exquisite toilettes were
seen. Mrs. Sawyer wore a strikingly
beautiful decollete gown of pompadour
silk with sable trimmings. ..
Miss Harris wore an exquisite decollete
gown of pink dotted French net over
pink silk, trimmed with painted lace.
