Gillette. "and was thrown violently

nal hall last night was very success

in shirt waists and without coats, and
the ladies charmingly attired in film
sy fabrics which permitted them to
trip the light fantastic very agreeably
to themselves and to their partners.
1t was nearly nine O'Clock when
one hundred couples formed In the
grand march, and led by Mrs. Ed
Egan and Sam Whitmore paraded
around the large hall to the enhancing
music of the Grand orchestra. II
was very pretty sight, but in few
minutes broke up into separate cou-
pies, whirling off into may waltz
which was the initial dance Of the ev-
ening.
An exceedingly ~ nice crowd was pre-
sent, and large one, testifying to the
fact that those in charge of the sale
of tickets had performed their duty
successfully. and that the Tulsa hos

at least 1925, than it was yesterday.
\
The music last night was excellent

add all they could to the general plea
sure. The floor was in fine shape and
all went went merry as marriage
bell until an hour after midnight.
The ladies having the affair IN
charge feel grateful to those who as
sisted them in their undertaking.
They feel particularly so to the Owl
club. which not only bought many
tickets. but donated from its treasury
S25 to the cause of charity.
