VICTORIA DAILY COLONIST SIIITDAY, FEBRUARY 19 1893.:

LETTER FBOM TOKONTO.

Interesting Gossip From Ontario's Capital About the Doiugs of Society.

Tlie Annual Lofjal Society's Ball a More Pronounced Success Thau Ever.

(Special Correspondence ot tbe Cou>nibt.) ToRONto, Feb. 9.—This has been a bit-

• terly cold winter, but, notwithatanding that, Toronto has been gay, oh, bo guy. Perhaps the aevoro weather has Imd eomo. thing to do v/ith iiiakiiip tho inside i)lena-nres more attractive, but it cannot have had all to do with it, for sliating and snow;shoe' ing and aleighing parties have been simply innnnierable. Not only have the rinka been patronized ua never before, but there has been auch a rcndezvoua on Toronto Hay as even the oldest inhabitant aaya surpasaeb all hia knowledge and underatanding. There has been plenty of anow hut it haa not intertered with the sport, and fortunately there have been few acoidenta, in fact none very serious.

" Better hito tluin never " is an old saw,

■ and, pleadint,' it as au excuse, I am going to tell you brielly about two of tlio most brilliant entertaiunienta Toronto has had for a long long time. The first one was in January. Dainty invitation cards announced that Mrs. Allan Artluir would bo At Home at St. George's hall, and tlio colors, "Pink and white," suggested a novelty. In compliance with the invitations, all the ladies e.xccpt one wore pink and white, or dainty white with only touches of pink, and aomo of the gentlemen went so far as to add a auspicion of color to the regulation "blackbird" coatunie. Without auggest-ing what tho result was, there was oue

-dandy with an ocean of pink and white, another with large howa of pink ribbon on his slu)e3, and a tliird with facings of delicate pink on his coat. But the niain portion of the guests aeeined shy of departures. And who can wonder ? It takes even more nerve than some society butterflies have, to make an innovation. The decorations were charming. All lights were shaded and Boft-ened by mellow pink, and roses and sniilBx were there in profusion. Those who came with minds made up to stay an hour or two Remained to the end and even then lingered for ft last look, ior they were loath to leave the fairy bower.
