height of improperly. You want to
mind every ones business but your

my mistake.

Elks Hail. at York and Henderson
streets, which has been the scene Of
many brilliant gatherings, was never in
more glorious attire than it was during
the annual ball of Jersey City Ledge
of Elks last evening. Nor has the Lodge
ever achieved finer social success than
it did last evening. The magnifcently
decorated hall, with its parlors, lodge
room, reception rooms, banquet hall and
gallery were crowded with well known
men and handsomely costumed women.
Boxes along each side of theshall were
also crowded with prominent Elks and
their friends. The general scheme of dec
the frieze hung gold bespangled and
trimmed royal purple velvet. Crossed
flags and bunting woven with artistic de-
signs also adorned the stage, the walls,
the gallery ledge and the boxes. Broad
bands of red, white and blue tarletan fes-
tooned the ceiling. In the gallery was
stationed an orchestra that played only
promenade music, while the dance music
was furnished by an orchestra partially
hidden behind palms and flowers.
There was also Japan tea room up
stairs, where tea was served in dainty
cups and saucers that were given out to
the patrons as souvenirs. Other SOU
yenirs were also given out from this
quaint Oriental room. The ladies in
charge were attired in japanese costumes
and looked. very pretty The tea room
was but one of the many fine features
of the affair. But great many found de-

Every lady was presented with hand

The dance lasted until morning and
was one of the most enjoyable ever held
in the well known hall. 1t was the most
successful one, too, both socially and f.
