ARLINGTON NEW YEAR
 BALL A BlG SUCCESS
BRlLLlANCY AND A SPLENDID CROWD MARKED THE WATCH
 PARTY BALL LAST NIGHT.

The Arington's annual New Years ball had the punch" to it. Not even
 the press agent of the big Ringing show could insert too hefty a colec.
 ton of adjectiyes in boosting" it. Twas the happy medium between a rollicking riot and a stupendous spec
 tacle. Yet, twas all of that and then
 some
 We have a sneakiIg impression that the many fashionable visitors. even those from the massive metropolises of New York and Chicago, will admit upon arising this morning-or after noon. as the case may be-that to spend a holiday night in the Arkan- sas Hot Springs is anything but a doleful affair We also believe that our own elite, even though used to dazzling dances and enormous even inss at the Arlington, will readily de- clare that just about new brilliancy record was hung up by Manager Cor rington and Assistant Manager Ches- ter and their aides last night.
 The marked brilliaacy of the Christmas ball week ago was evi- dence that the New Year ball was
 going to be little short of phenome- nal And so it proyed-phenomen Co high degree. The beautiful ball
 room fairly sparked in the radiancy of it's holiday attire. The spacious rotunda. the different parlors. the loomy promenades and last, but by no ] means least, the gay grill room were also handsomely and appropriately ! decorated The lighting effect was | likewise perfect, Then the Barton dancing program was superb.
 Naturally, milady was the hero of | the occasion Looking more captivat- ] ing than ever, eXquisitely attired and richly jeweled, she registered yerit- able triumph Queeuly looking. she
 was just as affable and the gallants
 never tired dancing attendance upon
 her. The true holiday spirit was in | the air. and none but the saddest of cynics could possibly pick flaw in | the entire ensemble
 The Spas smart set attended prac. tiCally en masse. l. would really be much easier to give a list of those
 who were not there than to compile a list showing who were there. Be it known that Miss Hot Springs looked radiatagly beautiful, just as she al ways does at the Arlington's great functions, and did her full share in making the New Years ball such a sterling success.
 The late life in the gay grill room
 was typical of New Years Eve, and of the choicest. ditto no!siest brand, tco Promptly at 12 a fond goodbye was paid Nileteen-Fouftee and then al uproarious welcome( extended to Nineteen-Fifteen. The ghill room was packed with winers and Miners as it was never packed before. while the spacious promenade leading into the hotels billiard hall was parked with tables from end 10 end.
 The Italian string orchestra, mak- ing it's debut for the season" reu. dered lot Of the years song hits, notably "1ipperary," which drew some fifty-seyen encores,i more or less. and doubtless more than less, and registered the biggest sort of a hit. A dainty special menu was served and it mixed just right with the champagne.
