UNIFORMS ARE WARM

company That the ladies hearts nave still a kindly spot for the soldier boys. even in these latter days when knight hood and journeys have long since be- come a thing of the past. was well shown at Music Hall last evening. where the Grays were holding their an- nual dance And who could blame them for it? The men all wore the regulation gray uniform, than which what is handsomer? But those same uniforms are not the coolest imagina- ble togs in which to anble off the whirling miles of o'clock dance. so that if the members got praise for their looks, they undoubtedly deserved it. They were suffering from the heat be- meath the braid and the buttons, the epaulets anl the medals
 If the decorations at the armory this year at the time of the Yale junior promenade were commendable, then those at the Music Hall last evening were equally so The Armory is like a barn to decorate; but the Music Hall is even worse. The decorations were Agu scheme was light blue and white The walls and ceiling and the front of the gallery all around the hall were com pletely hidden in festoons of those col ors, The cheese-cloth was in the form of a great canopy all over the top of the hall. It was made up in large white squares with smaller blue squares in their centers. The whole appearance of the place was nothing short of fdiryland.
 The dance heretofore has been held in Harmonic Hall but this year there was such a demand for tickets that il was decided to hire a larger place Last evening there were easily 200 couples dancing The dancing began promptly at o'clock It was proceed. ed by half-hour's concert played b! Odinkirchen's orchestra.
 The dance program was composed o twenty dances and four encores witt waltzes alternating with two-steps OK cept for several barn dances whicl were put in to meet popular demand at regular intervals during the pro gram. The supper dance was the tent coming about 11:30. During the inter mission the orchestra played anothe concert, while everybody made an in ventory of George Whites stock, whic he brought over from the Tontine. an | found it all that could be desired. A 12 o'clock dancing was resumed agai and 1t was after ? o'clock before tn last dance was finished.
 The grand march was led by Lieu | Crabb and Sergeant Jones.
 AS the carriage arrangements fc
 big dances of this sort at Music na
 have always been of somewhat TIT
 satisfactory nature the committe
 from the Grays this year decided uI
 on a change. The trouble in the pa.
 has been because Court street is s
 narrow. that it is almost impossib
 to find a. particular carriage at th
 time it is required.
 t, In order, therefore, to avoid tn
 confusion, the committee has a
 ranged to handle all the carriage
 this year. Carriage coupons wei
 placed. on sale at Judd's book stol and arrangements were made with
 H. McDonald, J l.. Nesbt and D.
 Currie to accept these coupons for
 trip to the hall. For the return tr
 the coupon was accepted by the dri
 CT of the first carriage at the entranc This was the same plan that is ust with such success by the collegia' with their carriages at the promenad : as no carriage was allowed to bio, the entrance.
