Reading Club Ball.
The Reading club ball last night
will long be remembered by Durango
society folk as one of the most beau
tiful affairs ever given iE the city.
Spacious Red Men hall, the scene Of
the event, was transformed by the
novel and exceedingly pretty decor
ations,, into most hospitable, cheer
ry and altogether inviting spot. Dain-
ty white crepe paper lattice work, at
tached to the east and west sides Of
the balcony formed the artistic can
opy where the devotees Of Terpsi-
chore whiled away the happy hours.
Here and there the canopy was dot
ted with pink poppies. Lattice work
similarly decorated entwined the bal
cony and also formed the screen be-
hind which the orchestra was seated.
Shortly after the festivities were un-
der way, the electric lights went out
and it was found necessary to resort
to the use of candles. This happy ac-
cident further enhanced the beauty of
the scene, as the soft glows shed by
the myriad of candles gave just the
one touch lacking.
Durango's elite were all there, and
seemed to find the occasion one of
the happiest of their lives.
The excellent music furnished by
the Bostonians added materially to
the success of the event.
The participants numbered about
two hundred.
