''ittFt tHeH aiNluCidl, so airy and gracefully poised were they. as if only alighting for look at the ball and because they really expected 10 find their joyous spring presence nee. essary and assembled to pay Mir. Os-
 born, the genial host. the honor of visit, since everything so sprlnglke called them as if to wee birdies' ball"
 The entrance to the ball room had
 pink satin ribbons tied in true lovers'
 knots, which, at the psychological mo ment. were united to allow the belles
 and beaux to troop in a merry throng
 to glide away over the highly polish ed ball room to the tuleful strains of Prof. Graham's fine string orches. tra, whose dance program was like one continuous song of spring, the melody finding an answering echo in gay happy hearts which beat in tune to the music and to many satin slip i per that, Cilderella-like, gleamed in and out in graceful glides and slides of the latest dances.
 | Over the far doorway opposite the entrance, a huge blue bird. outlined in electric lights and winIing a bright red eye, seemed speeding downward as if from some high aerial tour. The corners of the room had great pink vases filled with armfus of | sprays of a variety of spring bios. sons, with tiny birds of yellow, red, etc, poised on the branches, with their tiny heads turned impudently to one side, as if to say, This is our spring ball"
 Another pretty decoration which was very effective was the balloon l idea. Green, red and blue balloons, four in number, were tied to the top of the pillars supporting the arbor. These floated airly about, adding an other hint of spring
 The favors presented to each danc- CT were flowers with bells attached. which tinkled merrily while feet twinkled in time to the dance music. | And that music Oh, but ones foot could not keep still. And that pretty conception of spring shown by the musical number representing birds in the forest, when the orchestra with musical whistling devices represented forest of whistling birds. All in all, it was one of the most | cleverly planned and executed of any ball in the history of this fashion oh fn land for it's gayety, its style, charming hospi- tality and gorgeous, almost spectacu- | lar, social functions.
 The parlors were spring-like with vases of apple, peach, golden gate, plum and other blossoms, while ferns and roses were placed here and l there
 The immense mirror was beautiful with it's twining, trailing vine of morn ing glories. The parlors and corridors were thronged with visitors and made brilliant appearance,
 The elaborate, elegant gowns, jew els and accessories worn by the la dies were brilliant, alluring, luxurious and tasteful in the extreme and made the ball more brilliant in appearance.
