Work at Ball Room.
The decorative work on the pension Of
fee for the inaugural bali is being pushed
with all speed and the building is beginning
to give promise of what it will be like
on the night of the great ceremony.
1t scarcely would be fair to the COM
mittee of artists who have the decorations
in charge or to the public who will view
the finished effect to anticipate by going
into much detail as 10 how the finished room
will look 1t may be said in a general way
that the main scheme of decoration is a
green and gold trea tment on an ivory-tint-
ed background with red frieZe running
around the second balcony of the building.
The electric illumination will be better To-
Gated and of a softer effect than in previ-
Gus years. and the customary canopy of
drapery which in previous years has de-
tracted from the height of the ball room,
Will be dispensed with and it's place taken
by blue roof covering, giving more the eff
feet of an evening sky arching above the
mass of flowers with which the room will
be EMPOWERED. The utiitarian aspect OF
this arrangement is that Ii materially de-
creaseS the danger Of fire.
The fountain in the center of the court
will remain and be Increased in power and
illuminated with colored electric lights
from the bottom. The approaches to the
building all four sides will be through
covered ways walled and rooted In royal
blue and in harmony with the remainder
of the decoration so that the effect Of
finished beauty will exist from the moment
