delightful affairs possible wa
the cotillion OF Friday cvenin
at Fort Douglas, at which til
officers and ladies of the Twentieth en-
tartsined their friends. Tho affair wa
sn celebration of the birthday OF tn
Father OF his Country and all the deco
rations and many Of the beautirul ia
vors used in the german were sugges
tive OF the patriotic holiday. The hol
committee, composed Of Captain A. W
Foreman as chairman. with Mrs. Per
hns, Mrs. Graves and Mrs. Nelly ane
Iieuteuent Hall as able assistants
spared NO efforts to make Of the affair
splendid success, and despite the faci
that the crowd was the largest the hop
room has ever held, the evening was
decidedly q record in the matter Of de
lightful entertaining. The eotillion was
led by Captain George H. Estes and
Mrs. William s Graves, who proved
themselves adopts at devising and
leading beautiful and intricate figures
on the dance floor.
AS a change from the usual method
the receiving line, composed Of Colonel
and Mrs. Irons and Major and Mrs.
Willis Uline, stood at the far east end
of tho hoproom while the two favor
tables were placed in the two corners
to the west, where Mrs. Miller, mother
OF Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Kellond, Mss-
Ditto, Mrs. Craig and Mrs. Burt pre-
sided, distributing the favors.
The receiving line stood in place only
during the early evening, during which
time the military orchestra played
beautiful concert program, consisting Of
Isenman 3 "Sounds From the Sunny
South "The Dell OF Ferns" by
Moore, and "The Wedding Of the
Winds" by Hall. General dancing fol
lowed for short time only, and then
began the real feature--the cotillion,
in which practically al the guests
Joined, the leaders dividing the COM
pany into two sections.
The first figure was danced without
favors, but with the second figure the
fun began in earnest, the fsvors being |
tri-color siren horns and tiny guns hold
ing concealed flag fans. When these
Favors were put in action there was real |
merrfment mingled with the beautiful \
dance music Of the orchestra. One Of |
the most striking figures danced was
that In which the favors were lighted
Japanese lanterns on long slender poles,
which were carried by both men and l
women dancers while the lights in the |
dance hall were lowered, giving the full
effect Of the lighted lanterns. Some Of /
the other favors were soldier hats with \
plumes for the ladies and continental |
tri-cornered hats for tho men; canes
for the men and Japanese parasols for
the ladies, miniature hatchets for the
men and sprays Of cherries for the
ladies, drum crickets for the men and
comic faces for the ladies. The last
figure danced wss one in which all the
dancers TOOK part, the ladies lined up
on one side and the men on the other,
while real battle Of confetti and ser-
pentine rolls, which lasted several
preceded the hnal dance TO the
strains Of "Army Blue" ending finally
in "Auld Lang Syne" and "Home,
Sweet Home.'
