short dresses. fairy forms and nimble
feet seemed the universal rule, without
an exception. An unusual beauty was
added to the fairy ball by the bright cos
tunes, the bright eyes, the sunny hair
and happy voices OF merry children. The
department of those assembled, without
exception, demonstrated the careful drill
and mastery training of their instructor.
The hall was filled with little gentle
men and ladies. whom ii will not do to
designate in this connection as children,
without the risk of seeming lack OF
dignity and respect.

trimmings; Pauline Johnston, pink silk,
