versity Armory.
The Visit of the Yale Student MI

The university armory presented a most
attractive appearance last evening when
decorated for the hunters ball which was
given by the young women OF the physical
culture department. The only colors used
were red, green and white and they pro- |
duced most brilliant effect. A canopy
of white bunting hung from the rafters
and draped the walls. From the canopy
hung great red shaded lights and the
white which draped the balcony railing
was caught with red knots. The stage
was banked with pine trees and hedge |
of the green ran between the ball room
and the WINGS which were transformed
into pretty reception rooms with the
skilful use Of oriental rugs, and req ana
white draped coy corners. Tall white
pedestals held branching palms on either
side

A short program preceded the dancing.
Herbert Dale sang two numbers and tho
university band played several selections.
Interest, however, centered in the drill
and fancy dance by the physical culture
young women, assisted by a group Of
university men. Miss Butner led and
twentyfour girls took part. They wore
English hunting costumes tan colored
riding skirts, scarlet coats, black hats,
patent leather boots and carried red
whips. The figures were very pretty and
intricate and at the close the girls
grouped themselves in the background
while four trumpeters appeared and
sounded the hunting call. In response
twenty-four girls and men came to dance
the hunters dance. The men were also
