Elaborate Decorations Transformed

Bower of Beauty.

of the university mid year, the junior Dall,
and runlors in regard to the elaborate dec
orations and appointments were rife on
the campus until enthusiastic expecta-
lions were reused. These expectations
were more than realized last evening when
the young people gathered i'll the armory
which had been transformed under the
skilful direction of the committee.
The great rafters had been concealed
with billowy folds Of white and the ORR
entail lanterns with their quaint red
shades which were suspended from the
ceiling cast splashes of rosy light on the
snowy hangings which draped the walls.
No other colors were used but those OF the
Junior class, red and white, but they fur
nished brilliancy not to be obtained with
any other combination and the great nall
glowed with light and throbbed with life
like some enormous tropical flower. In
the center of the ballroom was an arbor,
hung with sarlands of green pine and can
opied in red whose slender spire reached
almost to the great light which hung from
the center Of the ceiling and whose red
shade was outlined with long sWay1ng
fringes. In among the aromatic garlands
of pine were electric lights glowing like
Goals which seemed famed every now and
then into greater brilliancy as the dangers
moved swiftly by. Within this charming
pagoda was round seat on which the
dancers rested. The stage was screened
by lattice Of ground pine and in the cen
ter the class numerals, 1904 blazed in
electric lights
The balcony was divided into loges by
long red draperies and was lighted with
quantity shaped standards holding chrys-
anthemum shaded lamps. While bunting,
held in place with touches Of red,' out
lined the balcony rail and beneath was a
frieze of white caught with red.
The patronesses received In the north
wing which was also hung in white and
lighted with the oriental lamps. Hand
some rugs were on the floor and willow
chairs were placed about the rooms most
invitingly while palms spread their broad
leaves above tall white pedestals.
The south wing was used for the sup
per room and the university colors OF ma
room and gold were used In Its decoration.
The walls were hung with bunting and on
the small tables scattered under the palms
were clusters of yellow tulips and jon
