NEW YEARS EVE BALL
Promised Pleasure Fulfilled by
Silver State Lodge No. III,
Ladies Society, and Truckee
Lodge No. -, Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen.

ised pleasure SO many people looked
forward to SO eagerly. passed at M.-sic
Hall in fulfillment that should make
proud Silver State Lodge No. III,
Lad es' Society to the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen. an rruckee
Lodge No. 10. B. Of L. F.. wno at
that time and place gave their fourth
annual ball.
There is no known part Of the world
where dancing does mol exist; it is not
only a graceful accomplishment. but it
is also a haaltnful >x:rc.s Sc, which i'm
parts strength and elasticity t, the
limbs, grace to the motions of the
body, and Ease OF manner to its devo-
ices. In our social life it is the charm
OF company and surroundings that in
creases or decreases the pleasure.
How much then do Je not owe to
to the ladies' Of Silver State Lodge and
10 the gentlemen Of Truckee Lodge for
the most memorable New Years eve
ball We ever attended? Coul4 more
charming company be founda Could
surroundings within our reach be
prettier1 The company was COM
posed of the beautiful. happy women
who grace our homes and Of the brave
men Aho ma. nta n them.
Pretty will not express the surround
ings. N ,ver before had Music Hall
seen such lavish display Of tasteful
decoration. The ball room was a mass
of b ended color magnificently lighted.
Every window was draped with lace,
colored hearts, drapngs. and notices
a 1orned the walls. A huge headlight
cast its bright shafts of light from en-
trance to stage and ilumined the
great WELCOME" so that NJ guess
could mistake the heartiness Of the
greeting and the joy the hostess and
host would heap upon him. Stream
ers, Japanese lanterns. and a center
rosette of railroad flags and lanterns, in
their varied colors. were the ce ling or
lamentations which attracted and held
the eye. The stage with its beautiful
background and suggestive engine bell,
was handsome. In all this beauty one
could see the hands Of the ladies'.
Mirrors were conveniently placed to be
not only ornamental but useful. All in
all the work was complete and artistic
and the praises Of those who did il
we're sung.
The program OF. dances was the
highest type OF the printers art and the
best money could buy. 1t was in four
colors. finished in gold from cover to
cover, delicate and beautiful. 1t can
take place OF honor among Ill its pre-
~decessors.
