lrt presided over by the muse, Terpsichore,
he occasion being their annual mid-winter
oall Thursday evening Of this week. The
weather was fine and Bellows Falls noblest
we're at the charming affair.
So many suggestions are brought to our
Many wonderful things that we cannot
pursue,
that we scarcely know where to begin
vet let us turn back the record and see
what appears.
The party was surely a most pleasing
success, very complete affair in every de-
tail, and from the interest shown by the
large company assembled and the enjoy
ment of the whole we should Judge the
party proved success artstically and
financially. The attendance was large, there
being many who came as spectators only.
In several respects it was the finest vet,
and perhaps right here we could say that
the secret of the success was that nothing
was overdone in any way. AS a mere
matter of justice it should be said, that the
credit of arranging everything in the way OF
decorations, music, refreshments, ETC.. was
due to the committee consisting of f. G.
Flint, chairman, c. w. Black, +. G.
Pierce, p. II. Hadley, G. B. Wheeler,
with c. II. Williams as floor director, and
G. A. Moore and j. ii. Pierce as aids.
The hall was artistically draped with
pale green, pink, yellow and white bunting
which blended perfectly with the delicate
tones of the ladies' costumes, and was ar.
ranged especially by decorator for the
occasion. The principal decorations were
confined to the front or stage part of the
hall which was arranged in such manner
that the orchestra sat beneath canopy o
rainbow tinted bunting very effectivel,
draped. The dance canvas was new ant
fresh, such an improvement over last year
and with the brilliant electric lights, TIN
hall freshly tinted, the balcony festoonec
with pink and green, and large mirror
hung around the hall nnder the balcony
never did the hall present more brigh
and fresh appearance.
