corations were pink carnations and
Christmas greens. In the big, beau
tiful ball room, the decorations were
the holiday colors with palms banking
the walls and ropes and streamers of
Christmas greens. The stage where
the orchestra was stationed was done
in red and banked with Christmas trees
and palms. The punch table was
pretty with red carnations.
In the banquet room where the long
tables were arranged around the hall,
the decorations were in the gay holt
day coloring with more Christmas
trees and festooning and draping of
Christmas garlands and greens. Red
shaded candles and red carnations
frightened the tables over which
sprays of old English ivy were grace
fully strewn. The ladies who poured
were Mrs. Eoff, Mrs. s. II. Hays, Mrs.
McCalla and Mrs. w. S. Bruce.
The dancing list comprised all the
latest steps. Ladies Choice" was one
of the prettiest dances on the pro-
gram; and in the softened, rosy illum-
ination produced by turning the lights
half off, delightful leap year oppor-
tunities were afforded which may or
may not have been taken advantage

dance again, the Tarantelle, winning
new plaudits as she went through the
graceful movements of the Italian
dance. Her rich costume, and the joy
pus abandon of her steps as she Whrl-
ed her tambourine, her long, dark
turls and dark eyes contrasting beau
fifully with her brilliant garb, Miss
Elizabeth was a picture. Responding
% a most hearty encore the pretty
lancer danced even better the second
ime.
