GOODS AND BRAVE
YOUTHS DANCE AT
JUNIOR PROM.
Scene Of Beauty and Life Is
Seen on the Great Floor of
the Armory During the
University Ball = Many
Handsome st. Paul Girls
Present.


varsity towns turned out last night
and made the great ball room of the
armory present as fascinating a spec
tacle as may be conceived. 1t was the
occasion of the Junior promenade ball
at the state university.
Hundreds of beautiful dancing Won-
en- and an equal number of properly
caparisoned dancing men form a COM
bination net to be forgone as essentials
to the best poetry there is in motion.
When the grand march, Soldiers and
SweetheartS," burst from the pipes
and strings of Danz's orchestra, when
long lines of pretty girls caught up
their trains for a. plunge Into the IN
itiaI measure, and the black-clad gen.
tlemen of q Somber fashion braced
themselves for the march past, there
was a scene worth going out to wit
ness.
Who says the Minnesota girl doesn't
know how to dress? Some of the cos
tunes at the junior ball might well be
copied by the high-bred and often
supercilious beauties of foreign courts.
Excellent taste displayed itself in
combination of richness with simple
ity.
Is there any fairer spectacle than
clean-br Northern maid in well cut
decollete, let the visionary seek 1t, for
here is glory enough. Gibson knows
type, and everybody gives him joy of
the same, and moreover Glbson's girl
is beauty, but the Minnesota girl is
sui generis. If there is anything she
lacks of physical perfection 1t does
not show on a ball room floor. If she
fails in wit no man cares to provoke
her scream by stepping on her train,
nor will any lovelorn swain forget the
reception of a too early declaration.
But all men alike will swear their I'M
dying fealty and devotion to this state
" young creature of the White-round-
ed arms, the high held head and the
superbly columnar throat, that is the
Minnesota girl in her highest develop
ment.
Seldom if ever, has more brilliant
array of feminine costuming been pre-
scented in this state than that wit
messed when the big promenade began.
The hall was grand mass of color.
Red and white, the predominant colors,
represent the Junior association, and
splendid show they made. in festoons
of bunting, myriad colored lamps.
scores Of Jap lanters, and ribbons of
incandescent lights.
Far to the center of the whirling
multitude an electric fountain shot
sparkling sprays high aloft, every drop
of water rejecting the varied hues OF
a high grade Kimberly diamond.
And talking about diamonds the
young matrons in the giddy throng
wore Jewels worth a princes ransom.
There were tiaras and buckles and
| jeweled collarettes, combining the in
Vulnerable shades that Tiffany knows
so well how to mingle.
The floor was in splendid condition.
| All the committees in charge of pre-
/ liminaries had done their work well.
| Nothing was left to be desired. The
| dancing space was WaXed to literal
fine finish. From $50 to $3.50 scores of
carriages arrived, bearing each It's
or;,.Ics md OF tn7U Oh IA
erons. AT 9 o'clock sharp the rafting
| Holman two-step, "Blazeaway," was
| struck up by the orchestra and the fun
| was on.
1t Was a College Affair.
| The dance was typically a college af-
| fair. There is that, an indefnable
| something about college dances which
| distinguish them from the more for
| NAL affairs of society. There is free
| dom among the college men and girls
| that people meeting only in social
| way never come to feel with each 9TH
er. If one dances well, Or if one does
| not, it is all the same, each dancer
seems to be on the floor for a good
| time, and smiling faces and merry
laughter are more in evidence than the
| languid affectation so popular among
! the society folk of the day.
OF st. Paul girls there were quite a
few. Among the st. Paul girls who
