Social
and Personal

The Bachelors ball, the greatest So
cial event of the season, will take place
tonight ut the new armory. The guests
may prepare themselves for Il surprise
such as they have not had in the his
tory OF these affairs. The scheme of
"olor is beautiful beyond the widest
anticpations and instead of II bleak
and barren ten-acre lot. such as some
people have feared it might be. the
great armory is made cosy ana COM
ortable in Il unique way. The florist s
lrt has made II holiday bower of the
interior. while additional light and
leat obviate any fear which may have
,een entertained on either score.
The members Of the committee We're
closely watching all details yesterday
and felt n pardonable pride in the adj
vance stage of the preparation.
Particular satisfaction is entertained
regarding the music. the rehearsal of
which has surpassed expectations.
The invitations have been generally
accepted and never before have SO
many out of town guests been in pros
pect. Fuhrman has Il large force of
men working day and night to COM
plete the elaborate draDcry of the
building and Clark was also busy until
late hour placing the forest of
greens.
The annual dance of the Catholic
Historical society, given last night in
.he Knights of Columbus club house,
was undoubtedly the most successful
social affair ever conducted under the
socicty's auspices.
The dancing hall ana upper noo, of
the club house had been elaborutely
decorated with trailing vines and holly,
and IL most beautiful scene was pre-
sented. Bauer's fun orchestra fur
nished the music for the long pro-
sramme of dances which We're enjoyed
by upwards of 125 couples. supper was
served between II o'clock and midnight
by Haney,
