FANCY DRESS BALL
Brilliant Function Monday Night at
Skating Rink


prettiest function Of the kir yet /
held in Lexington. The decora- I
tions were elaborate and beautiful, /
consisting of college pennants,
streamers, and various ornaments.
Soft electric lights and shaded
lamps shed mellow light over the
scene. And enhancing music by
the Berkeley orchestra of Staunton
added a charm all its own.
The costumes of the participants
we're rich and spectacular, and re-
presented the most attractive epochs
of the misty past when men and
women went a-hunting for amuse-
ment. AS the stately figures of re-
representatives. of the court Of France
in the time of Napoleon, and of the
knighthood of the middle ages. and
of the colonial heroes OF our own
country, glided across the stage
the spectators could but live the
lives and think the thoughts OF those
far off times. At any rate. the young
people who represented those times
did it well, and were happy.
The ball was gotten up under the
direction of Miss Annie r. White,
whose successful efforts in the past
we're eclipsed on this occasion.
Dancing began at 10 O'Clock and
continued until nearly 4. Supper
was served at l o'clock.
The opening figure consisted OF a
series of marches and counter
marches which were beautifully
rendered and with fine effect. There
we're 80 couples in the grand march,
and Immediately at the conclusion
of this, all the stays dropped out
and the couples of fair ladies and
their gallant partners executed the
opening figure. At its conclusion
masks were removed.
