BALL A SUCCESS
MARION CLUB FUNCTION EVENT
ECLIPsEs ALL FORMER EVENTS.
TomIinson Hall Beautifully Decorat-
ed for the Occasion-Musical Pro-
gramme-The Grand March.

The fourth annual ball given by the Ma
rion Club at Tomlinson Hall last night was
perhaps the most brilliant social event in
the history of this popular organization.
The affair was decidedly "dressy," and
many prominent people of the city took
part. For several days the decorators hac
been in charge of the hall, and last night
the place was respondent in bright and
pretty decorations.
The American flag, one of the prominent
features of the decorations, was In evil
dence everywhere. Its starry folds fell
gracefully from the ceiling above the
stage, and were artistically draped from
the galleries. The front of the stage was
lined with great waving palms, and many
potted plants of different kinds added to
the attractiveness of the scene. On the
stage refreshments were served. Around
the galleries were hundreds of incandes-
cent lights. Some of them were red. and
they made a pretty effect.
The grand march took place about 9:5O
o'clock, and nearly 600 people took part.
Prior to the grand march Montani Broth
ers' full orchestra gave a concert of the
following numbers:
Presidential Polonaise .............". Sousa
Selection, Runaway Girl ....... Monkton
Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana
Niasedshi
National overture, America" -...... Moses
The grand march was. led by President
Bryson. of the Marion Club, and Miss Nell
Kiley, of Marion. Miss kiley wore rose
crepe de chine and duchess lace. Mr..
Floyd A Woods and Miss Cooper came
next, Miss Cooper wearing pink organdie
and carrying pink roses. During the grand
march the great hall was a scene OF oaz-
cling color and light. All of the men were
In full dress, and many attractive toiiets
were worn by the women.
The grand march continued for ABOUT
thirty minutes, and the marchers execuLep
the different movements with unusuai Pre-
cision. At its conclusion the orchestra
struck up a two-step, and the floor was
soon filled again. The programme con-
tained twenty-four dances, with TWO ex-
