TaHE one unsurpassed affair of the
entire winter was the second sub.
- scriptiOn dance at the Moose hall
Monday night.
The decorations were wonderful and
even praise eludes the real feeling OF
admiration for the part the matrons
arranging the affair who are: Mrs
Asahel Bush, Mrs. Melvin Plimpton
and Mrs. Frederic Thelsen have played
in the success of these charming parties
which are premier over anything 80
eiety has enjoyed.
Tne ball room was Jappyland
of enchantment abloom with all the
lovely soft-hued rose tints Of Japanese
flowers, and redolent of the perfume
of oriental sandlewoOd incense. Cher.
Ty blossoms in the wonderful shades OF
pink were used in a profusion at the
sides Of the ball room and even the
lights from pedestal lamps here and
there in odd hooks were tinted to give
a pale rose haze as though the lovely
blossoms had exhaled their delicate
color in the atmosphere.
In the center there was an adorable
rustic pogoda entirely enveloped with
cherry blossoms and surrounded by
palms, where the gay dancers flocked
for cDgy tete.a-tete between the fox
trois, canters, hesitations an1 one steps
Gaily hued Japanese lanterns gave q
dash Of contrasting color to the atrae
tive setting.
Some OF the gowns worn by the ma
irons and maids were superlatively
beautiful, the prevalence of pinks in all
of its lovely tones from the pale blush
tints TO the deep geranium, including
coral and salmon, in creasing the har-
moniously blended ensemble of rosy
coloring. In many instances the gowns
were Of soft brOcaded silks or caiffOns
with silver or gold lace or tlillc bodices,
all short, with pumps of silver, gold OF
TO match the gown. AS whole the
dance was wonderfully well done, with
the best of music to keep up the gay.
