One of the grandest events ever known to Toronto society people was the Victorian Era Ball given by their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Al)er-' dean on Tuesday evening of last wka when the Armories was transformed intoaveritable palace. It is now a thing of the past but will long be re- membered by those who had the honor of being invited. The gowns worn by some of the ladies present had been Worn by their great grandmothers and Very quaint and pretty they were. It would be useless to attempt a (les- cription of the elegant costumes as space will not permit. The entrance of the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen into the Ball-room representing royal- ty wasa very interesting and novel spectacle for Canadians. The Court train of many yards in length and carried by pages was something which has not been seen before by many To- iicontorians, and the various dances in Costume representing all periods. Also the various conditions of science, art, literature and music during the Victorian Era were. conducted with 'such correctness and skill as to in- dicate numerous and laborious rehear- sals by the five hundred young ladies and ‘entlemen of Toronto, Hamilton and ondon, who took part and made Society and Fashion Gossip from the Queen City.

Mr. McCrullocli occupied the chair. The drills of the boys and girls were remarkably well executed, and a dialogue by five boys was particularly interesting. But the great attraction for the visitors, es- pecially the younger boys and girls, was the time-honored Santa Claus. As a rule this \Vt’lCULn? personage makes his appearance through the chimney, but on the above occasion he came down a rope' through the ceiling of the church, and as usual was Well laden with toys and presents of all kinds, which he scattered with a lavish hand. The tree looked beautiful, and everybody went home well .pleased that they had witnessed such a. pleas- ant sight.

To tbeEditnr of THE LIBERAL: Simâ€"Since the church bell has ceas- ed to ring we are. at a loss to know when we who live north of Centre St. should Wake up each morning in time for breakfast. The music of the new town bell seldom penetrates the still- ness'of our northern latitude, and its tones are rarely ever heard by the denizens of this locality. Listening to the widening peals from the church's lofty tower that have so long reverber- ated over hill and valley for seven miles around us, our sense of hearing has perhaps been somewhat blunted to the softer clang of-its more dimin- utive successor. If, limvever, instead of a few gentle pulls. a five minutes herculean effort .to extract from this new acquisition to our village im- provements its loudest capabilities, it may be that out of the series of melo- dious sounds thatlfloat in air around its centre, some wandering note may strike upon :the ear of some discon- solute lutepasyer who has invested in its institution. and elicit an ejaculation of gratitude. . ‘v,,, h._____ .tte ,,_ O‘HW, ,, ' A NORTH ENDER.
