WELLINGTONS' SOCIAL.
The Armory Filled With a
Merry Party of
Dancers.

With the liberal use Of the decorators s
art, the Worcester armory never
looked prettier than it did last night,
and the annual social of Co. H, Sec
ond regiment, NJ V. NJ, which the
company gave TO its friends was a sue
cess to a detail.
The decorations, which were elab-
crate and tasteful, were centered
around a platform raised in the north
ern end Of the drill shed. The Wor-
cester Brass band which furnished
music, was hidden behind a bank Of
palms on the platform, and large
American flag was draped above the
platform with mountain laurel ana
evergreen used as border.
Streamers of red. white and blue were
draped from the centre Of the hail. and
countless streamers hung from the
centre and sides Of the walls One OF
the baskets used in basket ball games
was trimmed with red, white and blue,
and the banner won by the Yelling
ton basket ball team hung from the
centre.
The social was a dress affair. and the
gowns Of the young women friends Of
the company made a striking contrast
to the other decorations. All local
militia officers were invited, and many
of them were present early in the eve
ming.
1t was practically the opening Of the
social season among the militia COM
panies at the armory. and the attend
ance was more than large enough to
satisfy the committee. The company
rooms, which were used for a drawing
room. were also decorated with red,
white and blue and the many trophies
won by members were used with good
effect for decorative purposes.
