VOLUME III NEWPORT, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY,
LEAP YEAR HOP.
Brilliant Social Event Marks
Commencement of Reign of
Newport Belles.
The shadows cast by' great
events, of which much has been
written by every sweet girl
graduate upon each succeeding
commencement, is perhaps best
illustrated in the • suspense and
expectancy of the long, dragging
years, which precede that in
whi<*h .womanhood leaps into
rights that she graces with a
loveliness and ease, as does chiv
alry the knight ‘ ‘unto the manor
born.” With the advent of 1904
came those preparations and
added interest which proximate
to a realization of anticipations
grown old, always fosters. Ex
pectation waxed keen in prom
ised pleasures with each day that
brought nearer a leap year hop.
Nor were our merry Newport
maids alone in this pre-enjoy
ment of th*. event in store, for
men wondered what would be
their fate, when they must sit
demure and let these usurpers of
their rights, ask them their
company, ask them to dance.
Quite naturally did their anxiety
crow.
But all has ended happily. The
brilliant social triumph of our
queens, in ushering in
t, leaves no rebellious
either disposition or
luestion their suprem
-throughout the days of 1904.
* it model beaux, what gallant,
m Wous lords do come from
^ ije womanhood. As the
® \sh bard has said: “The
y of mercy is not strained.
It c.oppelh as the gentle dew
from heaven upon the place be
neath; it is twice blessed; it
blesseth him that gives, and him
that takes. ’Tis mightest in the
mightiest; it becomes the throned
monarch better than his crown.”
The magnanimity of the givers
of this captivating affair has
made men willing to change the
S)ld time-worn calendar and de
clare for a new, in which the
eap year shall predominate, even
;)iough Old Sol himself look
|qwn with indignation upon an
• re and race in which startling
Novations strike a popular
ord.
The hop was given at the Ha
Hotel and the large, magnifi
lit dining room was a scene of
re splendor, as beauty adorned
All the loveliness of evening
Aume mingled with handsome
Atlemen in full dress who had
■yet discarded long cultivated
As of 'gallantry. Society was

Hh-talked-of event and even
