AvoNDALE, Pa, Jan. %, 1845.
Analysis ofa Fancy Dress BaH-Chdracters, Real


and Assumed- Beauty, Bellies, Buttons, and


other small Matters.


Mr.. BENNETT -


Fancy balls, find, are not confined to New
York, Boston, and New Orleans In this out Of
the way place, where have been sojournng for a
few days, one of the most splendid fancy balls
came of last night that ever attended. The
music was not so good as might have been de-
sired; but the arrangements, and management in
general, gave entire satisfaction. Every one en-
Ioyed himself; and, about one o'clock, the young
people retired orderly, and all in good humor with
themselves and every body else. The gentlemen
sustained their characters well, particularly Mr..
NJ, in the character OF Bae Nicol Jarvie, with
only one skirt TO his coat Mr.. A., as Metamora,
characters sustained by the gentlemen, were Or.
Skillet, Captain Boroughciff, Long Tom Coffin,
and Dandy Dinmont The ladies' looked en-
chantinsly elegant. ! never saw collection OF
was the lovely Miss Mary O., the daughter Of a
distinguished law, er, new retired to farm in the
neishborhood She chose, and very .aptly too,
Di Vernon her character. Her figure is tall, and
perfectly elegant, and her face 70 like an angels.
Her riding dress was Of blue cloth, decorated in
front with three rows OF small gilt buttons, whose
plain flat surface flashed with fascinating bril-
l.ancy, at every motion OF her bust Doubtless,
she well becomes any style OF dress; but halt the
charm of her appearance would be lost to me, il
were to see her without that riding dress, with
it's slittering buttons. Were ] lady, about TO
have riding habit made, should not be satisfied
unless it were precisely like The one worn by
this modern Di Vernon. Miss Louisa c.,
sister to this beautiful equestrian, appeared
the Bavarian Broom girl, and sustained the
character we'll Mles ID. looked captivating az
Lady Caroline Butter, another equestrian charac-
ter. Her habit was black with a saucy looking
buff vest peeping out in 'front.' and showing advsn-
tageously a row Of plain gilt buttons reaching
quite up 10 her pretty chin. Marian Ramsay had
L representative in Miss w., and Priscilla Tomboy
in the lively Miss l.. Mrs. b. appeared as Queen
Victoria, character which she sustained admira-
bly,.


The lunch was just what il should have been.
Che best caterer In New York could not have
"doue thiags up browner." | am quite satisfied
now that the country is equal to the town in every
respect, if not superior to II in many: have been
thinking OF opening riding school here. Lady
eques,rIans are certainly the most interesting OBJ
jects in creation. Yours. w. b. n.
