About thirty-five couples of the representative manly beauty and feminine loveliness and grace of Yates Center attended the second ball of the season given by the Pastime Social Club, at the Hotel Woodson, last Thursday evening, and, inspired by the quickening strains of most delicious music faroished by the orchestra, tripped the light fantastic toe through the intricate mez3s of the German and the giddy whirls of the intoxicating waltz--and all went merry as a marriage bell.
