like the tone that cllngs to a picture,
the throb and the swell Of the music
now joyous and exultant. like a song
of triumph. now soft and low like a
caress dying away into the tropic night

This was the atmosphere that char

and gold uniforms added touch Of
brilliance to the AFFAIR and formed q
pleasant contrast to the dark coated
evening dress OF the civilians dancing
