door Circle put on as It's winter social
entertainment.
IL was the most elaborate function
of its kind given since the Outdoor
Circle put on the Might in Roof
land" which up to Thursday evening
WAS considered the most beautiful
OF these affairs given here But the
Snow CotilliOn surpassed all expec-
tations.
The whole Roof Garden was trans
formed into a garden amid glittering
SHOW and ice, and so realistic were
the chill settings that one could
"shiver with perfect comfort" The
, snow storm, in which heads, coats
OF men and bare necks and shoulders
OF the girl dancers were sprinkled
with drifting flakes, was extremely
pretty. II struck such a popular
chord that the Young Hotel is going
TO usher in the New Year with
snow storm and thunder
One would hardly have supposed
that the night could possibly be so
lovely after the downpour OF the day
with mud and dampness everywhere.
And then TO dance on the hotel roof
and be perfectly protected from the
elementsl IL was a work of art, this
transformation, and no end of praise
is due the committee members who
worked so hard to make a snow
scene in sunny Hawaii. Some east
erners who were there had but one
objection. which was they had come
from "below-zero weather" TO this
land Of sunshine and warmth-and
they were mighty glad il was not
lasting snow" Overhead the Roof
Garden was covered with pine
branches dripping with snow and
guard at the cotiIlion favor table
Every light in the place was snow
covered, even the huge Oriental liant
ems looked like great transparent
snowballs II was indeed a pretty
picture, and 1t did seem a pity that
this was for one night only. Every
guest or onlooker was presented with
a SNOWFALL and later joined in the
snow battle.
Many indeed were the pretty and
novel steps danced by the thfrty-two
members OF the Cotillion set, which
was led by Mr.. Hermann Won Holt
and Miss Mary Won Holt. The favors
were Christmas berries and red5
poinsettia for the first figures; white
boas and red toboggan caps for the
second; white muffs and long red
horns for the third; and red reins
with jingle bells and red whips with
a white balloon attached for the last
In this last figure the girls drove
their partners first single, then

all abreast.
The dancing was so pretty that the
audience hoped for an encore. which
they might have had II II had not
been for the snow fight. which started
sooner than was anticipated. The
snow-balling spread like wildfire and
soon hundreds of cotton snowballs
we're flying in a merry whirl. Every
one became a very juvenile boy or
girl again, so fast and gay was the
play. Even the snow men were soon
busy and were held by the dancers.
The evenings fun kept UP until
lights were turned out; even then no
one wanted to go home.
The girls in the Cotillion were
very prettily gowned. Miss Mary
Won Holt was in black and silver.
