the Event of the Season-Hall
Lavishly Decorated--Entrancing
Bower Of Beauty.

The subscription dance under the
auspices of the OMAR Social club last
night in Burkes hall was the leading
social affair of the season. Yesterday
directors were busy in the spacious hall
and the eplendOr of the hall last night
showed their work of art The dccora-
tions extended from the first landing
on the stairs to every part of the ball
room. on the banister posts were
ferns of considerable height and beau
ty. The railing of the balcony was
trimmed with arches of evergreen be-
tween which ferns and palms peeped
out in an artistic manner. The plat
form on the north end of the hall
showed the careful attention bestowed
on ii by the force of decorators Hang
ing over the potted plants were arches
of evergreen. The chandeliers around
the hall on the side walls were COW
cred with evergreen. The real bcau-
tiful scene of the evening presented it
self to the eye when the orchestra plat
form was reached The orchestra was
almost hidden by the bower of ferns
and plants near the extreme edge of
the platform. The plants. all tall and
majestic. were probably the finest ever
social We're in particular struck by the
unlimited effort the committee had
made to make last nights affair a
leader in the social history here. These
young men in charge spared no en-
pense toward making the social a sue
cess and Cnrbondalians extend to them
the hand of approval. Their guests
We're all received in n most courteous
the wish of the club that they enjoy
II most pleasant evening. The guests
took them at their word and bring to
their homes today pleasant recolcc-
lions of Curbondalc's hospitality and of
one of the most pleasant times they
have ever had AS early as $50 oclocl;
carriages began to roll up to the hall
door and the fair girls and their es-
corts were soon in the Whrl of pleas
ure to the music Of I.awrenceS orcheS-

at $50 ana at once upon entering the
hall started in to fiji their part of the
programme. Their music was indeed
