again the order of the day, or rather
night last evening at Phillips Hall, when
the younger set held its second as
sembly dance. The affair came off much
the same as the last, that of November 70
a pronounced success.
The electric lights shone on the same
sweet girls. only in new gowns of course,
and the same courteous gentlemen, save
on his occasion the number of guests
was even greater than usual, owing no
doubt to the holiday season, when all the
college boys are home. and also owing 20
Christmastide, the hall was trimmed Tor
the occasion with holly. mistletoe ana
Christmas greens. The little ante-room,
so essential to every dance, was a bower
of evergreens. which made a beautiful
background to the little groups of twos
and fours, who pronenaded back and
forth with bits of bright society gossip,
or rested upon some becushioned divan,
slipping cafe frappe, but never dispensing
with that coquettish bit of lace, the fan.

dances.
There were as usual twenty dances,
alternating between waltzes and deux
temps. and nobody left out, and any num-
