THE LEAP YEAR BALL.
Young Ladies Manage One Of Most
Successful Ever Held.

The eight young ladies, who have
been managing u series of dances dur
ing the winter. did themselves proud,
last evening. when they managed all
by themselves q Leap Year ball. They
acted as escorts for the gentlemen,
handled the tickets, had charge of the
floor, decorated the hell ana did all
the rest OF the work, the sterner sex
attending simply in the capacity OF
guests.
1t was heard many times during the
evening that the old Armory never
looked prattier for any occasion. The
colors used We're pink and green. the
latter being provided with green
boughs and the former with paper
flowers. Hundreds Of these were used
and all We're made by hand by the
managers Of the affair. Huge stream
ers OF Pink bunting We're beautifully
arranged in the center Of the ceiling.
The boughs lined the balcony with
punches of the pink artificial flowers
at frequent and regular intervals
All the settees used on the floor were
covered with pretty coverings and pro-
vided with an abundance of sofa pill
lows.
But the "star" effect 1c all was the
main entrance to the hall. The two
big main doors We're closed and the
small corridor arranged as a cozv cor
ner with art squares. rugs. chairs and
mirrors. The chandelier in the center
was transformed into 4 thing of
beauty. if not of joy forever. with the
artificial flowers and boughs. The
whole effect of the decorations was de.
lightful and received no end of praise.
The galleries wer" opened to specta-
tors and We're well filled when the
grand march started. Edward Ware.
Jr. and I. Putnam Ware acted as
usherS III n Very acceptable manner
Music for the evening was furnished
by Pullen's orchestra of Bangor. and Il
fine concert preceded the dancing.
The eight young ladies having
charge Of the affair We're as follows:
Mrs. Nellie Davis, Miss Mary Runnells,
Miss Nellie Clark, Miss Lou Clark
Miss Bertha Smiley. Miss Alberta Saw
age. Miss Maud Cetchell and Miss Nell
lie Shaw. These We're in charge Of
