| of the flower. Roses In the hair and
roses in hands complete the general
| effect, which is bewilderingly pretty.
The men wear foresters' costumes.
More than $50 worth of rose leaves from
Il New York costumer compose the
girs' attire for this charming dance.
A taking feature is "The Owl and the
Moon" song by Miss Freda Kann, with
her Chorus of four little colorcd
chaps in Zouave costume. They are
the funniest things imaginable, with
the preternatural gravity of their small
countenances and the anxious care
about each gesture. Miss Kann was II
lovely "Owl and Moon Lady" with
her attractive personality and that big,
rich voice so adaptable to coon songg
1t Is a satisfaction to have her de-
clare that she intends never to "black
up" any more. While she is wonder-
fully successful in the character
sketches assumed recently, the make
up plainly detracts from the charm OF
her work, which last night was twice
as effective In her pretty rose trimmed
white frock. Her support consisted Of
Marshall Tinker, Willie Myers and
Douglas and Glenwood Crompton.
Mrs. c. J.. Frey is the chaperone OF
the Rose dance. 1t was followed by
one OF the most exquisite of picture ef-
fects In the Oriental dance by Miss
Elizabeth Bunnell. The stage was
darkened and in the circle of the gol-
den glow from the calcium lights, she
floated about, at intervals clashing
cymbals and assuming the most ar
tistic poses.
Her beauty is of a sngulary strik-
ing type for this role, and in her white
satin robes cleaning, with jewels, she
made one of the most attractive por-
tions Of the programme. She was
chaperoned by Mrs. George b. Smith.
The Plerrots and Perrettes had beau-
tiful satin costumes and made q most
effective part of the ensemble. Miss
Mary Greedy and /. e. Weisentluh
danced charming duet The chaper-
ones are Mrs. j. BENZ Dimmick, Mrs
r. w. Archibald and Mrs. w. w. Scran-
ton.
The French military drill has the
most beautiful costumes ever staged
here for military dance. They are
light blue combined with white and
the dance itself is so pretty that it is
sure to be prime favorite. Mrs.
Spruks and Mrs. Moore are the chap
erones.
THE FOLLY DANCE.
Much interest centres in the Folly
dance. Lavish expenditure has been
made in the costumes, and the result
Is magnificent. The combination is
pink satin and black, the design being
unique and striking. 1t is in this
dance that Mr.. O'Connell does his fa-
nous solo which brings down the
house. The chaperones are: Mrs.
Everett Warren, Mrs. +. H. Jermyn,
Mrs. G. 3. Jermyn, Mrs. l.. S. Oakford
and Mrs. A. c. Twitchell.
The Dance of the Seasons is consd-
cred by many to be the most effective
of all that We're seen last night. The
costumes are the last touch of beauty.
Four Spring maidens appear in their
soft green satin gowns, the full foot
ruchings edged with violets, corsage
and hat decorations of vioets, and car
ried pale green chiffon scarfs.
Summer was pink as a rose and as
sweet-represented by four beautiful
girls in pink satin with yellow chiffon
parasols and rose garlanded hats.
Autumn was all gold and poppes

The solo was an exquisltely graceful
dance by Miss Anne Edwards.

the players. Messrs. Price and Scott won

living cards was watched with the ut
most interest
