And now came the grand march proper,
led by MIR. Kid Belts Of the Pearl Buttoned
I ppers Club and Secretary Helen Green

and Athletic League. Hundreds Of couples
10 win the prize gold watch that WAS
offered the most REFINED couple fell into line
behind the leading couple hopefully before
they had glimpsed Miss Green's lOrgnettte-
the only one between the Square and the
lTCle, by the way-Or her gelman frien's
apparel. Mr.. Belts wore prac-
tlcally the conventional black. and his
crayat was tied in a pretty bow Of delicate
pink silk OVERLAND with fretwork to match
The design on the braid that edged his
weskit. The weskit was worn
d]ecolletd over a box pleated soft boiled
shirt, dull finish. He carried a
wine cooler.

reaching the far end Uf the ballroom and

could see the hopeful smiles die from bright
young faces then. Many weakened per-
and it was evident that entire
Of couples were ready to give up
the contest because of a bitter realization
u a lack Of Refinement, Their trainers
noted the defeotions quickly and ran out
from the side lines with pals and spongee
and opportunities to stick IL out. But the
friends Of the leaders, especially when
the lorgnette was brought into play, simply
stood right up and cheered like the railroad
platform when No. o pulls in ct
1908 A. NJ. on Monday Of Old Home Week.
The noise then wasn't anything, however,
10 the hysteria that ratified the chandeliers
when MIR. Belts turned up his trousers upon
to the edge Of the Wine Belt under
the grand horseshoe. Mr.. Belts wore
Alice blue half hose frescoed with box
pleats Of Scotch plaid.
