Shortly after 10 the dancing began in ear
nest and continued until with the usual in
termission for supper. The orchestra was in
two parts which played alternately, so that
tine music was continuous. When the affair
was at its height there was something over
| one hundred couples on the foor and the scene
| was an extremely pretty one, with the ex'
| auisite costumes of many OF the ladies and
! here and there a large cluster OF flowers car
