The hall was tastefully decorated
Lines of Japanese lanterns crossed ant
recrossed over the heads of the dancers
The music stand was decorated with
flags, the front being covered with &
profusion of potted plants. Numerous
cages of canary birds lined the sides oi
the room. Lowinsky's orchestra was in
attendance and furnished its usua
delightful music. A pleasing novelty
introduced was the use of cal.
cium lights during number of the
dances. In the grand march led by
Professor Kramer different colors were
used. The gas lights were turned out,
and as the large crowd was led through
various intricate and pretty figures, the
calcium colors were thrown upon them
with pleasing effect. In the following
waltz, My Sweetheart's the Man in the
Moon, the moonlight effect was used.
The uncolored calcium lights were
turned upon the dancers in such manner
that the room appeared to be flooded
with the rays Of the moon.
The starlight, sunlight and passing
storm effects were the others used dur
ing the affair. Refreshments were
served at IL 80 O'Clock, after which
dancing was resumed and continued un-
til late hour. Those in charge were as
