 One of the prettiest invitation cotil- 1 Ions ever held in this city was that
 which was given by MT. Peter w. Fo- land at Miss slocum's Gymnasium, Wednesday evening. The coti1lon | march was jed by Miss Fannie Ma ginn, eighty-seven couples taking part. The different figures were performed 1 in very pretty manner, ending in a two step. The decorations were the prettiest ever seen in the Slocum gym, consisting of hundreds of college flags, Japanese lanterns, and with pretty green and red lattice work covering 1 the dancing space. A surprise was given to the ladies by the presenta ton | of college flags, which was in contrast
 with the form of the dance. At the cotillon march, an etching, entitled l ''The Poland Girl' was given to all | the young ladies. The most enjoyable dance on the program was the Paul Jones, the orchestra having to respond to many encores. The cotillon was pronounced a very enjoyable affair by all who attended. MT. Poland will I undoubtedly give another cotillon after Easter, many requests being made to repeat the affair. The aides who as- | sisted MT. Poland were: James Ma honey, Lester Burdick, George McCor- mack, Oliver Osborne John Tierney, Thomas Buckley William Hawkins, | Fred Elliott and Albert Borg.
