begun at 10 o'clock Before it the
spectators, who occupied the gallery
at either side of the dancing floor, saw
the assembly of the guests and feasted
on the prizes of the modiste's art
After the march there was not de-
parture of any kind except that sup
per was served to all the guests al
once-1130 o'clock-instead of divid-
ing them into two parties. In order
to do this Herr Reicl of the AleXan-
dria, who had charge of the practical
part of the event, filed the balcony
with tables and provided ample ac-
commodations for all. The tables were
brilliant with glassware and silver, and
were rich in the modest floral orna-
mentation of sweet peas and carna-
tions, bowls of either being on each
table The balcony was attended by
a drilled corps Of walters and the sup
per was served with the most fric-
tionless haste. In this Herr Reicl made
a triumph.
The beauty, wealth and social life OF
the city were represented in the per-
sonnel of the guests. Beautiful women
in wonderful gowns received the hom-
age of men prominent in business and
professional circles of the city, While
the distinguished guests bowed before

Imported creations" prevailed. The
CLEAN of jewels Wed with the light OF
radiant eyes, and the floor of the audi
torium formed a vast kaleidoscope
where the dainty hues of the women
gowns blended softly with the dark
evening suits OF civilians and the gor-
geous gold braid of the naval uniforms.
The official representatives of the
citys hospitality were Mesdames Wal
