any of its four predecessors and by
| far the largest and most pleasing of
the seasons dancing parties was the
fifth annual Library Ball in the
| Eagle Woodman Hall last evening
There were probably one hundred and
twenty-five couples on the floor
while the balcony was filled with
people who came to enjoy the occa-
sion as onlookers.
The decoration scheme for the
ball was simple but unusually effec-
tive. From above evergreen boughs
had been suspended and each. tip
ped with red poinsettia, nodded
just above the dancers heads. The
| arrangement of this false ceiling was
such that, while the overhead empti-
ness was shut out, the view of the
spectators from the balcony was not
screened. Indian robes and blankets
covered the chairs.
The crowd began to assemble at
$3.50 and by the hall was filled. The
| guests were received by a line of pa
tronesses, members of the library
board and representatives of the la
! dies clubs and the mayors wife,
Shortly after O'clock, the orchestra
of seven pieces struck up a lively
waltz and the evenings festivities be-
gan. Delightful informality resulted
from the announcement of Frank
| Frazier, floor manager, that intro
| ductions would not be necessary and
| that any gentleman present was en-
titled to ask any lady the favor of |
dance.
The music was exceptionally good |
the United Orchestra having secured |
dozen new selections which had |
rever before been played at n local !
dance. So enjoyable was the occa-
sion that toward midnight the dane
ers contributed enough to retain the
orchestra for an additional hour and |
the final number was not played un-
til l o'clock in the morning
During the evening coffee and sand
wiches were served in the balcony, a |
number of the ladies taking turns in
serving.
Altogether the affair was an ex-
veedingly enjoyable one and to the
ladies who planned it is due unlimi,-
ed praise. especially since the ball
netted a handsome sum for the
public library.
