gay colors were tastefully draped about
the walls. The music stand facing the
doorway was hidden by bunting and the
gallery was decorated with streamers of
| the national colors.
In the left corner and next the orches
tral stand was a cozy cOrner-a nice place
where you might sit in soft cushioned
rocking chair, your feet buried in the
| depth of n rich fur carpet, while you held
"a tete-a-tete with pretty partner or
watched fashions pretty butterflies rs
| theyltlitted across the ballroom.
At nine o'clock "A cab rolled up to the
door and the first delegation stepped upon
| the scene, fashiOnably attired, their faces
! bright and eager in anticipation Of a de-
! lightful evening From that hour the
