THE 0HRI3TMAS DA15CE
A Brilliant Social Event.
A Christinas dance was held at
the Exchange Hotel on Monday
evening, December 29th. In com
parison with the long line of similar
assemblies that have taken place
annually for many years past, it
stands very favoarbly About one
hundred people were present, and
among these were handsome
matrons and beautiful maidens, men
with silver locks and the boys
from college. Many elaborate
gowns were worn, and diamonds
sparkled profusely. The music
was furnished by Oppenheim of
Wilkesbarre, and consisted of eight
pieces. That of itself was as good
as a concert. There .were very few
who failed to dance nearly every
number. The inspiration of the
music was irresistible. All the ar
rangements at the hotel were ad
mirably made by the proprietor, I.
A. Snyder and his assistants. The
refreshments, while not elaborate,
were according to order, and were
very nice, and well served.

in charge were: Geo. E. Elwell,
C. A. Caswell, Frank Colley, Sam
