»a« a quarter ot aa acre of pretty girls
“it ulght. They were rich girls, well
“ressru girls, any, by aod barge, ss nloe
girl* as I hays seen this year. The
moat of them ware whirling about lu
I be muse* of the walls, aad l actually
envied the Porto Hlcaa dandles and
our unltormad military officers wlm
held them la their arms.
It was at a grand ball given by ilia
awoll club of dan Juan. Tlia theater
waa hired for ll>e ocoasioa, and the 8 in
Joan theater I* bigger than any lu
Washington. It Is a bulldloc of brMk
ind stucco, which baiouged lo the
Spanish Government, and which la now
tha property' of Unole 8sm. It ha* a
•tag* a* large aa a city lot. The or
cbesUa circle waa floored over last
night, ao that with the stags there era*
more than a quarter of a acre of clear
daoelug space.
Tha floor waa cat puled aud cocoaout
palai leaves were trained upon the
walla. The three gallerias which ruo
around the theater went draped with
red white and blue stripes, spangk-d
with atari, and American Hags were
everywhere. The boxes ware filled
1 with rich Porto Bleana. and lbs girl*
upon tbs floor were Um daughters of
the iwelt people of the Island. No on*
was admitted without an invitation,
and the thousand odd maiden• present
represec tadJLbe very top crust of Porto
The men were of the same class, aad
tbs srhola gave tee a new Idas or the
twat of the subjects whom Uncle 8sm
has sooexed.

I wish (Im eorraepondeuta who bars
Lose writing leltsre home to the effect
that there la colored blood in all Porto
Ktoaus could have attended this ball.
1 have nervr seen batter types of pure
Tralles or Kpaniah. The complextioua
ware all darker than ours, byt 1 oould
sea no traits of the negro, aod I doubt
If there was a woman in the room who
had sank blood In her veins. It was »
Caucasian crowd, and a remarkably
tool-looking on* Hundred* of tbe
rneu were ea wall dreaasd, aad on
whole far mote decently dreseed
than the women you see at the White
house reception. Thera were many
abort sleeves, showing plump, dimpled,
white arms and beautiful necks. Tbe
gowns were oot out low and inch aa
were deeolleu were filled in with em
broidery. Tbe oolori. with tbe excep
tion of par lie pa half a dozen go waa of
Uack laoe were aalatou pink, aky blno

and nearly all were veil atltng.

but reflned. Tbay look like nice glrla,
good glrla. modest and purs, aa I doubt
not thay are. See how they laugh sod
chat with their partners, and bow they
keapnp with the dance throughout tbe
evening. It Is only while dancing that
they have the chance of being alone
with their beaux, for according to
Spanish on atom they must take tbeir
plaeee by their married listen, mot here

I waa surprised to tea so many
woman at this ball. 1 did not think
there wars eo many pretty girls on the
Island. It Is only at such times that
we see the better clasaesof Porto Hlcan
wom*n. They aeldom go upon the
street*. They do not bang out of lbe
windows or over ihs iwtoonlea. aa the
South American girls do, and in short,
they an very exclusive. It Is only a

General Hesry did not entertain much

because bis wife was not vary well.
