statement were needed. II could be found
in the crowds of friends who turned out 10
do them honor and TO enjoy their lavish
hospitality. All the guests who were menu
hers OF military organizations wore their
full dress uniforms. and these. with the
handsome costumes Of the ladies' made the
scene one Of Kaleidoscope beauty. The hall
was handsomely hung IN scarlet. and in
every window embrasnre were palms ami
rubber plants growing up from masses OF
foliage. while long palmettos reached out
from immense shields OF southern smilax.
At O'Clock Capt. Oyster led the Rifles into
the hail and gave the order to break ranks.
Then they all sought partners from among
the many beautiful women present, and
the dance was kept up with activity and
keen enjoyment until the drum bea+ taps
long after midnight Among those who
