season, the dancing party given last
by eleven popular and prominent
young bachelors established itself as
one of those notable successes that
rise not frequently in the long vista
OF memory and thus remain as land
marks on society's highway. Ele-
gance and beauty to a rare degree
placed their stamp conspicuously up
on the occasion and altogether the
affair was a signal triumph for the
hosts.
The auditorium of the hall was re-
splendent with the consummate art
of the professional decorator. Law
ender and yellow was the color
scheme employed and the delicate
colors were offset by the rich, dark
green of the oregon grape. garlands,
wreaths and banks of which had been
arranged artistically about the hall.
Spring made her offering in the form
of a profusion of lilac blossoms and
apple blossoms and the air was la
den with the sweet fragrance and
perfume of these flowers. The win
dows We're curtained in the predom-
mating colors and butterfly bows
were employed as wall decorations.
Adding to the elegance of the occa
sion as well as to the comfort of the
guests were the heavy, plush covered
chairs which had been substituted for
the plain furniture.
The guests, who numbered about
two hundred, commenced arriving
before nine o'clock and were receiv-
ed by footmen and maids. In the
auditorium they were greeted by the
! patronesses, Mesdames Lima H. Stur-
gis, Frank E. Boyden, George Hart
man, Jr., Frederick E. Judd. Wilson
! D. McNary and Robert \. Stanfield,
! and by the hosts of the occasion.

The grand march, led by Clarence
NJ Bishop and Miss Elizabeth Saw
telle, started the festivities and the
many beautiful gowns of the lady
guests made the line of march a bril-
liant one. From the balcony many
other guests looked down upon the
scene. The dancing continued until
an early hour this morning.
Refreshing punch was dispensed
from two booths during the evening
while a smoking room, fitted UP lux
uriously. invited the gentlemen to in
tervals of rest.
At half past eleven the guests were
summoned to the banquet hall above
and there enjoyed the most elaborate
supper served a la cafeteria. The
banquet hall also bore evidences of
| the decorators skill, the walls being
+ adorned with the same flowers and
general decorations as the auditorium
below and the floors being covered
with Navajo rugs.
Dancing was resumed shortly after
midnight and the best testimony to
the enjoyment of the guests was the
fact that the floor was almost as
crowded at the final number as at
the first and that the orchestra was
! forced to respond to five encores The
music furnished by the United Or.
chestra was entirely in keeping with
