The eleventh annual society ball of the
z 2 club given in Mildly & Dow hall las.
Tuesday night was said by mlLy to
eclipse all It's predecessors, and certainly
was brilliant affair. The handsome
finishing OF the hall went long way to-
wards the success and tho decorations,
which were under the special care OF
Mr.. Louis Bryan, We're just enough to
set off and show the advantages Of the
room. Garlands Of Southern smlaX, with
pink and red roses entwined with It's rich
foliage, we're carried from chandelier to
chandelier down the full length of the
room and hrigAened the railing Of the
musicians gallery. Before each OF the
windows, which were hung with lace
curtains. stood a tall date palm, It's
beautiful foliage brought out in special
beau;y against the white background. The
partition made by row of pillars,
crowned with a fretwork OF wood reach
ing to the ceiling, was hung with heavy
portieres Of deep red that harmonized
= and toned with the terra Gotta of the
walls. and divided the immense hall into
q ball room and supper room. Before
each Pillar stood a palm aud these, with
the lmmeRse u y In flowers and vines
that hung heneath the gallery, completed
the decorations Just enough to bright
en- the room. and yet not be oppressive.
The dancing began al o'clock to music
made BY the full force OF Schram &
Diehl's orchestra music so fine and In
spring that fatigue was impossible. In
this department Mr.. c. j. Crane, Jr., and
other members OF the floor committee
deserve full credit, Tho usual number
of round dances and lanccrs came nrst,
followed BY three cotillion figures. lod

merry ring OF tamhourlno bells and hose
that dangled from ribbons passed around
the necks OF the dancers, kept time

feet despite the fact thaL midnight had
long since passed.
The supper was prettily laid and was
of generous and excellent quantity and
quality. and il was delightful to have
ample room in which to pass In and out
among the small tables on which II was
served. In this branch OF the afialr Mr.
IT. II. Franklin was in command and and
had the highest praise for the result.
A notable feature OF the evening was
the fact that, for the first time the
had nothing stronger than Apolinarls
water in the punch. This was done In
response to many requests made to the
management, and by vote taken by the
executive board. The movement is a good
one from some points OF view, but 1t Is
only right to say that the men who form
the club, married and unmarried. are In
every way TO be trusted not only with
champagne punch, but the wtne Itself.
