LIGHT INFANTRY.
Third Social Surpasses All in
Brilliancy.
The Commands Orchestra Makes De-
cided Hit--some of the Guests.

The increasing popularity of the Light
Infantry socials was demonstrated We'd
nesday evening at the third social in tho
series which the Light Infantry is Civ
ing. No moro brilliant, select or enjoy
able social event has taken place this
season. Both of the preceding events
have been charming events, and a
marked increase in both attendance and
I pleasure has been shown in both; but
Wednesday night the social sprang far
ahead. The affair was entirely informal.
| but 1t was, nevertheless, very dresSy
| party. The gowns of the ladies were par
ticularly pleasing and becoming, and the
uniforms of the young militiamen gave
added variety and life to the picture,
/ in contrast with the sombre evening
dress Of the civilians.
| There were few decorations. A glory
/ of flags rested over the clock, and the
orchestra furnished music from behind
bank of palms and potted plants. In
the ladies' dressing room bouquet OF
cut flowers shed it's fragrance.
The music of the Light Infantry or
chestra was most enjoyable feature
Enthusiasm vented itself In frequent
/ encores. The reputation of the orchestra
/ is now assured, and It's formation prom
| ises to add additional interest to the
socials Bicknen was prompter. AT inter
mission Rebboli served ices, cakes, sand
witches and coffee.
