THE COUNTESS OF ST. GERMANS' BALL
This elegant Lady gave a splendid ball and supper of Thursday evening.
The spacious suite of apartments on the drawing-room floor were most brilliantly illuminated. The new-built room facing Charles-street was very tastefully fitted up for dancing; the floor was beautifully chalked, representing flowers, figures, and various devices, with a rich border. This apartment was lighted with gas; in each window was grand transparency, which by the reflection of the light, presented a beautiful coup d'oeil. The supper, which consisted of every delicacy, was announced about one o'clock. The dessert and wines were of the richest qualities. Dancing was resumed soon after two, and continued till past five o'clock yesterday morning. There were at one time nearly 600 distinguished fashionables present; to enumerate them would be to name all the leading and distinguished personages in town.
