 The Decorations.
 In the decorative scheme in laven- der and white the big drill shed was transformed from it's ordinary appear ance into beautiful setting for the brilliant scene made by the throng of dancers. Both the ceiling and side walls were completely covered with the two coIors. For the ceiling broad bands of white, alternating with mar rower bands of lavender ran length wise of the hall, allowed to droop red strips in alternate colors hung downward from the ceiling panels. A string of electric lights ran up each side of the hall and across the ends and strings of lights were led rom the corners to a central point over the orchestra stand which was in the cen ter of the hall and was prettiIy de- signed to represent basket. The nadle of the basket was represented by a heavy string of laurel and the sides were made in laurel, with the woven part of the basket shown in the two colors Potted palms were arranged on the floor around the foot of the orchestra stand. The sidewalks were treated in white with a band of lavender at the ceiling and the boxes were in white with the steps in laven- der. The boxes thus were more en- tire1y open without any overhead work.
 The decorations upon which many were bestowed were by Jeremiah A. Desmond, the electrical work by John Carney and the carpen- ter work by Neil Crowley.
