w THE SCRANTON TMBUNE- SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1900. AmmrM m 5 ' - The Hachelots' ball continues to bo talked about wherever society folk congiognte. It v. as a uvea wonderful pletuie, ilch In tolor, billllunt In com position, so Infinite In its arloty that It mtioi haunt the memory long after dancing duys ntu done. Thut It wus given at tiut a small loss to the com mittee Is it proof that Seranton ap pieclates such nn elegant nnnti.it event. To hne the IlK'ulom' but abandoned would be n sorlil calamity nnd as the subscriptions fiom Invited guests are the only methods of paying oxpencs It Is a pity that no many welt known society people are nbsent fiom vear to enr. The members of the committee, are lc-celvtng congratu lations on nit sides and the fact that the most expensive ball of the ssilcs v,as given with only n slight dellelt ns a icsult Is pleasant Jnfoimatlnn for everybody. The committee tins not vet met for orgnnUntlon for the coming year, but n meeting will soon bo held, and It Is now certain that another elaborate event of the same kind will mark the closing of 1000. Only one thing more temiins for t. Bachelors to do In order to surpass the Inst beautiful success recorded to their everlasting ciedlt and that Is a tint masque. When again the ear Is old they should achieve Mich a miracle of pictui i fiiG effect that not an in vited guest would bo absent unless by re.inn of some dhe allllctlon. With the Lyceum the iter for a b u k Bround, a costume ball could b given which would dazzle this portion of the world.
