Presently meek faced little man, with

"See here" he said, thrusting forward

THE SECRET OF THE BELL.
Decorator william j. Cassidy's Idea Spruni
From An Iridescent Dream.

Decorator william j. Csssidy's Idea Sprung
From An Iridescent Dream.
To those who witnessed the scene OF
spectacular splendor when the mammoth
calcium, with its variegated colors, shone
on the principal decoration of last even
ing's concert and reception of Delaney
Council, Knights of Columbus, the super
lative scene will long be remembered.
1t was the huge bell that hung from the
large chandelier in the centre OF the hall,
with its symmetrical colors Of Nile green,
pink and white, and its heavy iron tongue
ready, one would think, to sway to and
fro and tintinabulate sweet sounds that
would bring the merry dancers to their
feet for the may waltz or inspiring quad
riIle, that all eyes were so intently fixed
upon.
But the bell, like the Sphinx, was there
as silent fixture and ornament.
The idea of such novel decoration came
into the mind of William j. Cassidy, the
decorator, during an iridescent dream
few nights after he was assigned to show
the people of Pawtucket what he could do
in the way of making the interior of hall
in this city look swell enough for the
guests of Mrs. Bradley Martin.
Following is the story he related to a
friend when asked how he came to think
of the ornamental bell:
"Well, I'll tell you," he said. sit all
came to me from dream. In my slumbers
