i usual. probably because there have | been so many balls given recently.
 The Fl Navarro club. social or ganization composed of the younger men of the city. gave another of the series or dances which it has been
 holding throughout the winter. The one held Wednesday evening at the | Woman's club house. was especially delightful. because the floor was less crowded, the unusual number of balls i occurring in the past ten days. prov ing rather fatiguing- to even the most 1 strenuous of the deVotees of Terpis- chore.

 The Fl Zaribah Temple of the Mys-
 tic Shrine planned delightful ball last Friday evening and had given il d flavor of informality by not using programs and having the ladies make the most of their leap year preroga- tiyes by choosing their partners for the dances The School of Music which has an excellent floor for the enjoyment of the merry glide. was the place decided upon for the festivities. the scimitar. crescent and star of the shrine. outlined in colored electric light bulbs, were hung at the top of the urosCenium arch At the front Of the stage Bosses orchestra was stationed all the members of it being present to furnish melody for the oc- casion. At the back of the stage mum erUus small tables with vases of red and white carnations were placed ready tO serve refreshments as soon IS the merry makers became hungry. In the rear of the auditorium. in the small room next the entrance to the building. an extremely dignified "cul- lad" gentleman stood behind the punch bowl, ready to quench the thirst of the guests with the delicious fruit drink. At nine fifteen. the grand march led by Vernon L. Clark and A c. Hulett and their partners. be gan the nobles of the Mystic Shrine all wearing the red Turkish fez. which by right Of appropriation has come to belong to them almost exclusively here in America. The feZ is certainly hobby head covering even if it does look a trifle incongruous with a dress suit. When accompanied by the pur- pie jacket, red trousers. yellow sash and white puttees. which go to make up the parade suit of the shriners, the result is startling. not to say saudy. The red fez predominated the scene Friday evening and everything was going as merry as q marriage bell. when during the third dance, without warning, came the sad occurrence which turned the happy party into q hall of mourning; E. Truehaft, the brother of Mrs. Louis MelcZer of this city, fell to the floor. At first it was thought that he had fallen in d faint and every effort was made to revive him but all to no avail-he was dead The company broke up at once and it is probable that for q few hours at least one of the thoughts uppermost in their minds was the Biblical quo tation: In the midst of life we are in death"
