the ball should begin.
Many of the guests present were
numbered among Junction City'S best
society and quite good many were in
evening dress It was a gay crowd
which had gathered at the hall, and all
enjoyed themselves to their utmost.
Everything was congenial to a good
time and all things moved along
smoothly and everybody was happy
Promtly at 9 o'clock, the appointed
hour for the grand march to move, the
orchestra played a stirring selection
and the long line of dancers being in
place, the column moved gracefully
around the hall The grand march was
led by Mr.. William Hicks and Miss
Nellie Montgomery, followed by Mr.. Or
Vile Brown and Miss Marcella Nacht-
mann. With the finishing of the grand
march, the regular order of dances be-
gan and the festivities were formally
opened.
Dance after dance followed each 9TH
er in rapid succession and long before
the gay company realized it, the clock
had struck u. An intermiSsion of 80
minutes was given, and many took ad-
vantage of this to go to a neighboring
restaurant to procure refreshments, af-
ter which they returned to the hall and
the dances began anew. The time pass
ed quickly and 8 o'clock, the time ap-
pointed in the invitation for the dane
ing to draw to close, came too soon
