v A LEAP YEAK DANCE
Clvcx Last Week by Bachelor
BfaMs?A Beeberebe Affair.
On Thursday evening of Christmas
week the annual Christmas ball was
given by the young men at Thomas
opeta-house, and this was probably
the most significant event in the festivities
of the season. A close counterpart
to this, however, and one
more unique'in that it cannot be repeated
again until after the lapse of
four years, was the leap year dance '
given in the same building on Monday
pjflht of last week. The young
iadiei Jkvited the young men, and
many or them invited two or three
to make good use of the rare privi-!
. legfe, which placed the girls at a pre-1
raium, because there were so many
. nttfbe boys than girls. After a few
minutes of dancing, the men were
, permitted to "break." and then the
^ flkOwe went on as usual. It is rather I
difficult for girls to take the part of
boys and more difficult still for boys
to take the part of girls.
