All were unani- mous in the opinion that day 9p receptions have advantages over those held at the late hours of night. Dancing by daylight admits of great latitude in dress; as visiting, or walking costumes, with hats and bonnets, are quite as proper as ball dresses, The same privileges are accorded the gentlemen in regard to dress, which is aconvenience if nothing more. That all availed themselves of this freedom was shown by the difference and variety of styles among belles and beaux. Mrs. Bryan, the hos- tess, was dressed in black velvet, en train, and. aruperb white lace coliaret.
