Several hundred university young
men and women and as many towns
people gathered in the university
armory last evening to participate in
the joys and beauties of the much
heralded junior ball, the great mid
winter function. All the time that
Danz' orchestra Of twenty pieces was
was a brilliant stream of guests enter
ing the big door. The patronesses
received in the large reception room
which had been hung with white and
a frieze of red. The ladies We're:

brook and J. B. Sanborn. White ped
estals holding high their burdens of
palms and ferns were placed at inter-
walls along the side walls and more
vivid touches were found in the door
ways, which were hung with the class
colors, orange and black. Oriental
rugs, chairs and table added home
like note which made the room eX-
cedingly popular all thru the evening.
In the center of the ballroom was
charming Japanese Pagoda with
lights twinkling under the edge of
the broad, low, roof. 1t stood in
tangle of tall palms and dropping
ferns that edged the fountain which
sent a sparkling spray high in the air.
Around the Dagoda seats were ar
ranged and they formed delightful
resting place during the pauses of the
dance.
The rafters were concealed with
/ clouds of softest white caught with
broad bands of red radiating from the
center. The balcony railing was fes-
TONED with orange and black and the
same colors were gracefully draPed
above the stage while below a network
of palms almost hid the orchestra
from sight. -.
The dance program included twen-
ty-seven numbers with nine extras and
the pretty little booklets which were
distributed, carried out the: Japanese
idea with their yellow covers lettered
in red. Within were the names of the
7 class officers, the list of patronesses,
the committees and the order of
dances. '..
Supper was served in three sections
in the west wing where the round CEN
ter table, was crossed by the orange
ribbons, and lighted with candelebra
llOlulll6 ySlloW ldpCIo' oIlAclll ACUlCo
adorned with ported plants were
placed for the guests and each was
lighted with a yellow taper in a silver
holder.
The pretty gowns worn by. the
young women suggested the popular
1880 styles with ruffed skirts and
dropping shoulder lines. Many of
them had garIands of flowers edging
the low blouses and caught in their
fluffy hair.
The men who planned the ball and
carried it to a successful close We're
