arrangement of the candelabras on each side
an Improvement was made over former occa-

An improvement was also effected by placing
the orchestra at the back of the stage, instead
OF on one side OF the parquet, and the various
other changes In the decorations and arrange
ments were such as good taste and experience
suggested. The dancing programmes presented
to each guest were very neat affairs, printed In
