The morning call., 1892-10-03

prides itself especially Upon the manner In
which II decorates the scenes Of Its festivities,
and Odd Fellows Hall has rarely been more
tasefully adorned than on Tuesday evening
last. From the center OF the ceiling to the sides
and corners Of tile hall ran steamers of dark
blue dotted with Whit stars and festooned with
Chinese lanterns. The front OF the galleries was
dTaped and hung Win lanterns, and In the four
corners Of the floor stood guns belonging 10 the
Second Regiment OF Artillery OF the National
Guard. To carry OUT the military idea drums
were piled upon the stage and there were stands
OF muskets with liked bayonets. The music
furnished by Blums orchestra introduced the
adlutaBts' and officers calls, The mess and sta.
bic calls the dress parade and dress guard
mount and The assembly. Young men belonging
10 the National Guard appeared In uniform and
added variety 10 The scene. About 800 couples
took part in the grand march, which was led by
FlOor-maEager George Waleom aud Miss Celia
Cr0neD. The latter Is pretty brunette and wore
dress OF lemon eoiored India SILK. cut semi
deeolete and adorned with cascade of lace
around the neck. Her yiyacious sister, Miss
Lucy CTonen, d demi brunette, wore pretty
and simple costume OF gb blue India silk OF
convenient length for dancing. There were sew
eral pretty evening costumes, and, though we
observed some Instances tn which the trained
dress seemed rather to embarrass lts fair wearer
while dancing there was a sufficient number OF
white. pink, light blue and lemon dresses 10
produce generally gay and airy effect. During
the dancing, which began little before 10
O'Clock, the electric lights were turned low and
the floor aad dancers illuminated by stroag
calcium lights thrown from The stage. The Mi
kados exert themselves to get tue incest people
TO their dances and 10 give everybody pleas
ant time, aud they are 10 be congratulated upon
The success of their Efforts on this occasion. The

Gently decorated with flags aud streamefs, and

aud "a brilliant array OF military and naval

st. John acted as floor director, and was here.
there and everywhere. He was ably assisted by
number OF blue jackets equally on tile
alert and obligDg. To say that the ball
was a success Is too mild term, It was
successful IN the fullest meaning OF the word,
and proved one OF The most enjoyable dances
ever given. There must have been over 200
couples on tie floor, and such throng OF pretty
girls would be hard TO 1nd on any other occa-
s sn,, ihey were all pretty Pretty girls and
and who ever heard Of Jack Tars Polly that
was not pretty. Ii Is the same in the ideal and
the real; there are none like Nancy Ler," and
Polly" is always charming. Last Tuesday
night the girls were all elegantly dressed In ali
The colots OF the rainbow, making one OF tile
pTetttest pictures that has been witnessed dur
Ing this or any other season. The army and
navy officers should encourage social gatherings
such as ibis was, and don their uniforms more
often than they do. The girls like II, and by
pleasing The girls the boys made II ppy.
