w messed IN Northeastern Penn
sylvanla was that given last night at
the new armory. for the benefit Of st.
Josephs Founding Home. In every
feature essential to the success OF an
affair of this kind, II was q surprising
| success.
The attendance was not less than
| $500. The decorations and illumlna-
| tions were the most elaborate ever seen
| in Scranton. No more handsome or
prettily gowned women could be con-
grcgated anywhere and Of representa-
tive men a dance could hardly attract
more than were present last night.
And besides, there was from the very
first an all-prevailing good. joyous
spirit, so absolutely essential to the
complete success of n social function.
1t must, indeed, have been most grati-
flying to the ladies Of st. Joseph's soci-
ety. and the gentlemen who so ZEAL
ously assisted them, to look upon the
brilliant scene their work made pos-
sibla, and contemplate the good that
their efforts wrought
The attendance could not help but
have felt that while their patronage
was prompted by charity they could
not we'll bring themselves to regard
their contributions as donations. for 1t
surely was worth every expenditure
they made to be a sharer in the un-
bounded enjoyment. The delight that
came of beholding the gorgeous ball
room, with its wealth Of color and illu-
mination, the pleasure Of greeting
friends from all over the two valleys.
and of making new acquaintances. and
the qualification that comes of being
one of happy throng, were full COM
pensation to any one who can be COM
pensated by enjoyment of this char
acter.
That there were few, If any, of the
unappreciative present, was attested by
the spirit with which the assemblage
entered into the enjoyment of the oc-
| casion. The dancing floor was crowded
the whole night long, and almost every
number Of the already liberal pro-
gramme was enthusiastically encored.
Promenaders never seemed to tire,
and the occupants of the boxes, after
the first few hours. We're found pre-
ferring place in the moving throng
that gave to the floor, from view
point in the gallery, the aspect of an i'm
| mense Kaleidoscope. Reception and floor
| committeeman were everywhere to pay
| every attention to the guests, and the
ladies' of the society. constituting them
selves hostesses. saw to it that no one
was a stranger.

who had it in charge are deserving of

Mrs. Joseph Levy was attired in

The dance music was all that could
be desired. Bauer had thirty-two
picl<ed men, led by himself, and with
the aid of the huge sounding board
with which the armory is equipped.
they filled the big room to overflowing
with melody.
The programme contained twenty
four numbers. but this was easily
stretched to forty by the encores, which
the band graciously granted at each
demand.
The grand march, shortly after IL
o'clock, was a most picturesque spec
tacle. 1t was participated in by 600
couples, led by r. j. Bourke, chairman
Of the general committee, and Mrs. r.
9. Wills, president Of St. Joseph's soci-
ETY..
The marchers formed in couples, and
following the directions of Master of
Ceremonies J. Frank Siegel. paraded
around the outside of the dancing floor
at the extreme edge of the armory floor,
the line extending all around the room.
They next formed in fours, and then in
eights, and while thus formed ascend
ed to the dancing floor, the alternate
lines separating right and left, and
then meeting at the head of the plat
form, returned down the center sixteen
in a line. They halted after all the
marchers were massed in a solid quad
| rangle, and then, as the music changed,
they broke away in waltzing couples.
At the conclusion of the march the
dancing was continued until after mid
night, when there was an intermission
for supper. which was served by
Caterer P. III. Durkin, in the upper COR
ridor of the administration room. Dane
ing was again resumed at o'clock and
proceeded with until late.
