The first entertainment of the new CEN
fury and the largest of the winter season,
was the military ball given Tuesday even
ing under the auspices of the Daughters
of the Confederacy, at the Guards Hall.
Too much could not be said in praise of
the management of the entire affair." and
the decoration of the hall was particu-
larly beautiful. The Confederate coors
of crimson and white were suggested in
the draperies of bunting which outlined
the galleries, while the walls, and even
the ceiling were literally covered with
bamboo vine. The musicians stand was
hung with network OF vines through
which cleaned crimson and white Japa-
Dese lanterns. and overhead the arc lights
were softened by crimson shades An ex-
cellent supper, consisting of six courses
was served during the evening in the com
panies' rooms. The tables were decorated
with holy and Christmas berries, while
branches of magnolia and garlands of
bamboo vine further adorned the rooms
