 Decorations in Pink and White.
 Pink and white was the color scheme adopted for the decorations with touch of green that represented win 1ows along one side of the hall, achieving soft and harmonious et- feet that made a beautiful background for the brilliant scene.
 The walls on either side were in white with a band of pink at the ceiling line and az futed frieze of pink. Sprays of Southern smilaX were scat tered along the walls and on the front of the boxes on the north side or the hall where there was 8. double tier. On the south side of the wall win dows were formed at intervals with broad bands Of green. The ceiling was in white divided into large squares by bread futed strips or pink Charity.
 Hanging in the center of the hall was the large electric sign with the word Charity From this hung swing of electric lights, southern sInilax and red roses, in which were two dolls Of almost life-size and as the grand march began the swing was set in motion and kept oscillating back and forth above the dancers through the evening.
 At four corner points in the hall were festoons of electric lights and SmilaX with white doves and red roses arranged among the dIlO dIlO- ] gether the decorations were comment Fed upon as among the prettiest that l have been seen at the ArInory, record ] ing triumph for the design carried l out by Morgan Cronin- The electrical 1 work was by the Eaton Chase O., and ] the wiring by John II. Carney

 Modern Dances Barred. The first number after the march was the Lanciers, but before the Icouples took their places in the sets, | prompter, informed the dancers that 1 he had been requested to announce | that there would be no modern danc- ing here this evening"
 ] The announcement was greeted with ! a. faint but audible expression of as tonishment and then a faint burst ot applause. It explained why the print | ed programme was devoid of one steps and fox trots as the rector ot l the parish had declined to permit these to appear upon the programme i The eighteen numbers that made UT the dance list were enjoyed to the ful
