THE" JUNIOR BALL
That Of 1902 the Greatest in Uni
versity History.
THE ARMoRY A FARMLAND

With Compliments ON Sue
cess Of the Event.
The university armory presented be-
witching transformation scene last night
for the junior ball. Its bare military APP
pearance had ben exchanged for the soft
pearance had been exchanged for the.soft
atmosphere was one Of luxury and gayety
Instead of discipline and stern duty. l=I&e
The transformation was wrought in
large part by the beautiful decorations
which had been arrangedho a very eX-
tensive scale and carried out with the ut-
most success. The effect obtained was
simple, tasteful and artistic and delight
ed the eye with soft color harmonies,
moving lights and effectively massed foli-
age The walls Of the reception hall and
armory were completely lined with broad
bands of pink and white bunting in soft
folds and finished at the top with festoons
Of the bunting caught in rosettes. Tho
roof Of the building with its unattractive
Orders was completely shut from view
by canopy OF pink and white bunting
spreading out from central star, studded
with lights. Under this was beautiful
fountain, the central idea of the deco
rative scheme The fountain was embed
ded in pyramid of palms and several
Jets threw water high in the air, where it
broke into glittering drops upon which
the colored calcium lights played with ex-
quisite effect. A group OF. white pillars
rose from the masses of green about the
fountain, and were placed around the
stage, in the corners, and as an entrance
gate for the dainty bower arranged Tor
the patronesses and their friends: -.
The stage was a fluted shell Of pink and
white, the fringe of tall palms at the
front giving a charming bit Of contrast.
The walls Of the patronesses' corner were
lined with the pink and white and draper
les were arranged overhead. The large
space was separated from the dancing tioor
sby a barrier Of bunting. Oriental rugs
and palms furnished deeper color notes,
and comfort was provided by luxurious
willow chairs. -
The electric lights were softened by
dainty shades and the finishing touch of
fairyland was supplied by the restless cal
cium lights. :~-. -es ...:s...-.g : =
The Attendance Large.
The attendance of dancers awarded the
indefatigable efforts of the Junior ball as
ISOLATION, and the deluge Of compliments
that continued through the evening sound
ed pleasant in the ears Of these young
men who had given much time, talent, and
though to the contamination of their am
bilious plans. Probably no larger Junior
ball hasever been given, although the
number Of those dancing was not too large
for comfort The balcony was thronged
and the spectators were so enchanted by
the beautiful picture and the music that
at midnight the rows were still unbroken
Pleasing Concert.

arriving Danz' orchestra played the fol-
lowing program; Excelsior" overture

the occasions in the form Of small care
cases Of green ooze with an ''M'' an
Junior Ball. stamped on them in gold
The dance cards were tied in with whit,
| satin ribbon and announced thirty mum
! bers. The Women'S cards had pretty gol(
I pins to fasten them to the gowns; ant

program was run through in a systematic
manner, all dances being of about equa
! length, with but short intermissions.
| At u o'clock a delicious hot suppe
| was served in the west drill hall BY

white roses and ferns and ferns scattered

green shaded candles stood on each side
The small tables were in green and white
and the color scheme was carried out in

The toilettes of dancers was not the
least part OF the beauties of the scene
and the effective setting afforded the
dainty gowns was one Of the chief tr-
umphs Of the decorative idea.
The attendance of patronesses was unpre-
cedentedly large and the beautifully arranged
corner where they received was tk1cnged all
evening. The women were all in close SYM
pathy with university life and knew many of
the young people. Their handsome costumes
contrasted effectively with the girlish frocks
OF the young dancers. The patrolesses were:
