The Knights of Columbus ball in the
Eagles club Tuesday night was a gay
affair. After the sombreness of lent,
the merriment and frolic Of the dance
had added attraction and nearly 400
gathered to join in the festivities.
The ivory and white ballroom on the
second floor was decorated with yellow
and white, the colors of the Knights
and their insignia draped with that of
the American flag gave brilliant splash
es of color in contrast to the delicate
tints Of the walls and the decorations.
At the north end, the Duke Smith or
chestra with it's ten pieces was half
hidden behind bank of palms and
other tropical plants. The music was
spirited and lively and gave impetus
to the dance.
The picture was particularly attrac-
tive for new gowns abounded, many of
them designed especially for this ball.
The quaint hair dressing so modish at
present, low over the ears, strained
back tightly from the forehead and
severely coiled, the faddish "arm"
bouquets, the dainty slippers, the pro-
fusion of flowers with the costumes,
the great beauty of the Kenosha girls
and the general air of camaraderie all
helped to give distinction to the as
semblage.
It was decidedly a youthful ball.
While enough of young matrons were
present to give it an air of dignity
and enough of admiring parents to
properly chaperon, still the dancers
were noticeably young and many of
them included debutantes of last sea-
son and this, and many others not yet
formally "out. E"
At no time was the picture more
beautiful than when the moonlight
Dance was danced. All lights were
out except the moonlight" which
emanated from a beautiful silvery
moon conveniently lodged on the rail
ing of the south end balcony.
And right down the trail Of a par
ticularly bright moonbeam that foated
along the polished floor, came the most
stunning and original costume of the
ball. 1t was worn by graceful, girl
ish creature, slender and spritelike, and
as she danced along GA Midsummer
Nights Dream,'' Titania and the rest
of the fairies that hover about this
most delightful of plays, were called to
mind. It was Miss Eleanor Casey. On
her brown hair was tilted a coquettish
French crownless hat of blue tulle
caught across the top with crossed
strips of silver cloth in pink, fastened
with Rhinestone studs. Her gown was
of shimmering, irridescent silver cloth
with pink tones predominating From
her girdle depended six narrow straps
of silver cloth to twelve inches or more
below the waist where they supported
a blue satin hoop, and from the hoop
down to the hem of the short dancing
frock were a succession of fiuttering.
flmy blue tulle ruffles that hung quite
independently of the skirt beneath.
The effect was as if the girl were en-
shrouded in blue clouds above and
through which the dawn tints of the
shimmering pink gown were seen. The
corsage was quite low and was sup
ported by mother of pearl shoulder
strap over the left shoulder. With it
were worn bewitching silver slippers
with diamond clasps-and it was limited
that her flesh colored silk hose were in
reality the daring half socks affected
by New York society girls. The gown
is said to be a New York creation and
this is readily believed as it was both
artistic and original. Miss Casey car
ried tortoise shell fan made in minia-
ture copy of bladed electric fan and
it was most effective as a breeze pro
Queer. BY touching a spring the tiny
blades were set into rapid motion. A
pink rose nosegay was bound to her
arm.
Another costume that attracted much
attention was worn by the stauesque
Mrs. w. Howard Robinson. It was of
white embroidered net over white silver
cloth. She wore lavender shoulder
straps and pink roses with it.
Mrs. Roy K. DORIS blonde beauty
was enhanced by a dainty costume of
white chiffon, banded with narrow
strips of blue.
Miss Helen Barden who is still in
school and came up from the University
of Chicago to attend the ball was love
ly in blue taffeta with pink roses and
hllies-of- the-valley as garniture.
Miss Gertrude Senne was another of
the markedly beautiful young women
present and was gowned in orchid pink
taffeta.
