 The Eastern Star ball which took place Thursday evening at Melczer's hall was a grand success. The hall was artistically decorated; in the front was a large electric star in the colors of the order, and many United States flags were draped on the walls. The electric globes were covered with rose colored tissue, which shed a soft and beautiful glow. The punch bowl was in one corner of the hall, and chrys- anthemums abounded everywhere. Roses were seen in the card room, where many guests sat at the tables, preferring cards to dancing. There was an unusually large attendance and many were attired in evening dress.
