In decorating the immense drill

punch, one stationed at each bowl in
separate parts Of the hall.

buttons and gold braid, that sways the
very least patriotic person. Last
Tuesday night full dress worn by
United States army officers and Off
GERS of the National Guards was a
handsome combination in military uni
forms. These gorgeous costumes,
combined with the beautiful gowns of
