For the past two weeks prepara-
tions have been under way for this
annual event. and last night, in a
most splendid and attractive manner,
ii was celebrated at the Margery hall
Never before has that terpsichorean
retreat looked so inviting or beauti-
full as IL was made to look under the
deft hands of the committee on decor
attons of the club. II was a blaze of
light and beauty. which, together
with the gay and gallant young men
and bright and beautiful young wom-
en-, made an ensemble that would
have been attractive to even the
blase in social life.
Great ropes of ground pine was the
material used for festooning, and in
termingling at intervals were varied
colored electric lights which lent
most charming effect to the gowns
of the ladies and the general decora-
tive effect. great wreath of pine
in the center of which was the title
OF the club in red letters, was hung
on the east wall of the building fac
ing the dancers.
The orchestra. numbering eight
pieces, occupied the northwest cor
ner of the room, hid behind a great
bank of palms that almost entirely
screened them from the dancers.
BUT, II the decorative effect of the
Dali room proper was beautiful, much
more extravagant expression must be
used TO express the charm of the
bachelors den. Here was comfort
personihed. The floor was covered
win huge animal and Indian rugs.
lounges and easy chairs in convent
eht positions for rest and comfort
were scattered about the rooms. the
electrical display was most effective
whiIe the walls of the den were IN
orally covered with pennants of the
various colleges of the state and
country. Altogether the den was a
most beautiful and attractive place. |
ana IL was here where delightful
punch was served and where also the
Duifet lunch was later in the even |
corts.'
AS souvenir of the occasion. pro-
grams were given each lady and gen
tleman, which, for artistic daeiyp ,nd
peauty, nave rarely if ever been
squalled in this city. The cover was
OF leather, dull red, on which was
burnt the head of a lady or gentle
man in different poses. The pro-
grams bearing the head of a bachelor
were handed out to the ladies. and of
the bachelor girls to the gentlemen.
me work of the cover was performed
oy that well known young artist, Mr..
Whipple Chester, and reflected much
credit on his work and on the com
mittee having that work in charge

The AFFAIR will not soon be for
gotten, and altogether it may well
be pronounced one of the best. If not
the best, invitation dance ever given
in the city and the Bachelors may feel
that they have Justly earned a high
regard for their abilities as entertain
ers.
