Columbian lxnighthood was the bali
room of the auditorium so fully taxed.
III the ballroom ropes of southern
smilax were suspended from the ceiling
the entire length of the hall and effec-
lively draped across TO the balconies.
Around the latter blooming plants were
arranged in p%rofusion and about the
columns of both balcony and parquet
ropes Of the smilax were tastefully ar
ranged. The electrical scheme of light
ing was in red, white and blue; from the
gorgeous centraf e%lectrolier and along
the sides of the room prettily shaded
red and white lights were used. Above
the stage in striking letters the one
word, Charity blazed forth in pure
white lights. Van Bars orchestra was
stationed behind a tall screen of palms,
just beneath the stage, and the Program
of up-to-date dance numbers rendered
was encored to the echo in every in
stance.

ellis with 81 membership of several
