beautiful palms upon the orchestra. The
ladies OF the Reception Committee were
stationed at the west end OF the hall, OPP
posite the orchestra, and the gallery upon
the north side was occupied by chaperons
and those who did not dance. The Floor
Committee. with Colonel 10 Lane Stern
as chairman. wore blue badges. and the
gentlemen Of the Reception Committee
wore red ribbon bows.
An elegant supper was served In one OF
the adjoining rooms. the tables were most
tastefully decorated, and the facilities ex-
cellent In every particular. Animation In
creased on the dancing floor towards mid
night, and the briiiancy OF the scene has
not been surpassed this season. There
were TWENTY-FIVE dances on the pro-
gramme, embracing all the favorites, but

for all who cared TO dance. In the size
