THE EKs BALL.
The Happiest Social Event of the
Season

10 The Happiest Social Event of th
The social dance given by Cascad
Lodge No 303, B. P. o. Elks, in th
Vogs opera house last night was pre-
nounced by all to have been one Q
the most pleasing parties ever givsl
i in The Dalles. The hall had beel
most beautifully decorated under th,
supervision of Ernest Jenson, the ex
pert window dresser in the employ o
A. M. Williams & Co. A large square
3 center piece was suspended from tb,
ceiling, from which was hung circle
of purple electric lights. Outside the
center piece was circle of artificia
white doves, and underneath IL was 6
large eagle holding the American flag
in its talons. From the center were
hung drapings of purple and white
bunting, reaching from the ceiling to
within few feet of the floor at every
side of the building. About the walls
were placed elk's heads, on the antlers
of which were globes of electric lights
all giving most beautiful effect.
At 9 o'clock Parsons orchestra, OF
Portland, which furnished music for
the occasion, began playing splendid
march and 81 couples led by Judge and
Mrs. G. G. Blakely, execnted the most
beautiful figures of the grand march,
| at the close of which the merry dan GERS
began whirling about in the enjoy
ment of the may waltz Thus the
ball began, and it continued through
the evening with naught but mirth
and happiness prevailing.
1t was indeed magnificent sight to
see the spacious hall filled with ladies
robed in elegant evening dresses,
and gentlemen in full dress suits par
ticipating 10 the enjoyments of the oc-
casion. There was but one Interrupt
ticn to dancing during the evening,
and that was at IL o'clock, when the
Eks Assem- bled in the center of the
hall to drink their toast to absent
brothers, but this was only Temporal
ry interruption and added diversity to
the other amusements.

credit on this occasion by having SO
pleasantly entertained their guests,
