the cotillon fully made up for whatever
else was lacking.
The decorations were, as usual, prOm'-

pair of substantial canvas doors

course they were again pressed into serv-
ice last evening. Entering from the amp

scene which presented itself to the gaze of
the distinguished assemb lage which gath
cred in the pretty ballroom was one of eX-
ceptional brightness and beauty. The
polished floor was covered with white
canvas, which unfor unaiely had been
spoiled in spots from leak ia the skylight
overhead, but these few patches were
remedied before the hour of opening the
festivities arrived. The prevailing hues
used in the work of decorating were very
pretty shades of pink and white. The

drapery of white silk with golden fringe,
and dotted with gilstening stars OF gOld
and silver, was much admired. Along the
footlghts were placed number of hand
some ported plants and vases filed with
variety of roses and chrysanthemums, the
bukhead so formed completely hiding the
musicians from view. The decorations
overhead were simple. and consisted of
three huge baskets filled with evergreens
and smilax, and q circular canopy formed
of wide strips of red, white and blue
bunting.
The outer corridors were made to re-
semble floral bowers. the sfaircases and
floors were covered with burlap, and in
short the entire upper floor was completely
transformed from its usual appearance.
Shortly before 10 o'clock tho strains of
the Hungarian orchestra announced thu
first figure OF the co;illon. II was indeed
a charming sight, and the buds of the
season were in rheir glory. One cotillon
had already passed, and it required but
their mirthful routine. The toilets. for
the most part. were worn for the first
time, and served to heighten the artistic
effect of the scene.

was served IN the spacious dning-room
below, and a more dainty repast was
never eDjoyed By the gay Friday Nighters.
