Yesterday was the Hollywood Event of the Season, the "Oscars". Today is Leap Year Day. I thought this article was appropriate for today. From The Plattsmouth (Nebraska) Weekly Herald, January 21, 1892 Page 3. Yes, January - this is just the "first" leap year party of the season! Rockwood Hall is now a part of Plattsmouth's Main Street Historic District. The Young Ladies Reading Room Association rented the second floor of the building in 1886 and established the first city library.
EVENT OF THE SEASONThe Leap Year Party Given by the Young Ladies
THE DANCE WAS A SUCCESS
The Young Ladies Prove Their Ability as Leap Year Entertainers
A Pleasant Time Had by Those Present
The young ladies of the O. D. C. gave the first leap year party of the season last night at Rockwood hall, and to say that it was a success would be stating it very mildly. The grand march started at 9 o'clock, with forty-seven couple. The floor was in first-class shape and the music fine.
The young ladies furnished hacks for the conveyance of their company to the hall. The party will be remembered by those present as the most enjoyable one this winter.
When it comes to giving an enjoyable and highly entertaining party, the young ladies are the ones that can do it. THE HERALD makes special mention of some of the costumes worn, but could not obtain all of them. The music was furnished by the celebrated Italian orchestra of Omaha.
Miss Nellie Taylor, of Central City, was dressed in a full dress of pink surrah, and slippers to match.
Mrs. Sam Patterson wore a beautiful black silk dress.
Miss Nettie Ballance was dressed in black silk and lace.
Miss Eva Verigg, of Central City, dressed in brown silk.
Miss Gering in pink silk with white lace.
Margaret Oliver in black silk.
Georgia Oliver was dressed in lavender silk, with cream roses.
