rafters under the ceiling of thet ball

color. Banners and pennants, trophies
OF races and representative emblems of
hard-Won championships were suspended
in long rows at both ends of the room,
making a beautiful contrast in their
rich coloring of gold and silver, en-
broidered velvet and satin. The plat
form was a tangle of green, for palms,
ferns and Christmas green hid the or

rooms 70 red-shaded. lights shed warm
glow over appointments of red and
green.
