exotics. The ball room scene. as view

about the walls, and the chandeliers
were entwined with smilax and holly
the whole forming an admirable frame
for a picture which might have given
inspiration to the pen Of a poet, or the
brush of a painter. There were many
fetching costumes, and a bewitching
array Of bright colors. which, united
with the grace and animation of the
wearers, constituted a visual feast for
those who did not pay homage at the
shrine of the Muse Terpsichore.
The beautiful strains of the Opera
House Orchestra filed the building,
and the corridors and parlors invited
prOmenades and tete-a-tetes, while not
few OF the guests awaited themselves

ments. The dance programme con-
