A French ball was represented, held
In a court surrounded by a wonder
fully beautiful garden. At the east
ern end of the auditorium and on a
level with the balconies, a terrace had
been simulated from which flights of
steps on either side swept to the ball
room, the high marble wall creating
a striking background for the throne,
which was on the ball room floor.
Emphasizing the idea of an outdoor
setting, overhead southern smilax had
been used, completely covering the
ceiling and thickly studded with flow
ers, and from the network of green
cry gay carnival spirals and bright
colored balloons depended, the rhythm
of the music, the movement of the
dancers, the colors against the back
ground of greenery, the rich costumes,
the many colored lights creating an
effect brilliant in it's conception and
marvellous in it's beauty.
From the flower enmeshed greenery
overhead, the vines and blossoms
were carried on either side to the ball
room floor, giving the effect of log
gias on either side, with a marble
wall at the eastern end of the gar
den, the terrace which the wall en-
closed having as it's background a net
work of vines and flowers. Alternat-
ing along the marble balustrades were
ornamental plants and standards of
colored lights and at either side of
the stairways were growing plants,
in great jardiniers, ornamental plants
| also having been used in the arches
on the high marble wall.
The loggias on either side of the
ball room were latticed, vines and
| flowers seeming to grow between the
archways, through which gai1y clad
maskers and the promenaders could be
seen, no one being allowed on the ball
room floor except those dancing, the
space on either side having been util-
lied for promenadeTs and those who
wished to sit out the dances.
Dancing continued at the auditor
ium until midnight, when the Ariolas
and their guests repaired to the San
! Carlos hotel where a banquet was
served in the main cafe, followed by
dancing in the ball room until late
hour.

Transported to a period of history
when luxury held sway, amid the
trappings of royalty and the kaledio-
scopic color and beauty caught from
past golden with romance, the
French ball given last night by the
Jewellers of Ariola at the Keyser
auditorium was not only the most i'm
portant social event of the season,
but surpassed any of the previous
successes which have made this mys-
tic organization notable.
The curtain rose upon dark stage.
Suddenly the lights flashed up, and
maskers in gorgeous costumes were
discerned in the terrace overlooking
the ball room. The orchestra struck
up quick step, and the crew entered
the ball room from the stairways on
either side, led by the captain, who
represented Mephisto, and his two
Eeutenants. A tableou wos formed,
and a number of intricate figures
were given.
Again the hall was enshrouded in
darkness and when the lights flash
ed out, the king, in the costume of
Louis XIV, was seen descending from
the terrace, down the long flight of
stairs, the queen coming down from
the opposite side, the king meeting
her and leading her to the throne.
The king wore magnificent cos
tune of black and silver brocade with
sweeping cloak Of deep red velvet
lined, with white satin and bordered
with rich leaf design of gold. His
coat was of black satin, brocaded in
silver with bead trimmings and waist.
coat and trousers of silver satin. The
heavy crown of gold was studded il
diamonds and rubies and his sceptr'
was thickly set with brilliants, the
costume of Louis XIV having beer
carried out in every detail, even to the
many medals and decorations of thu
French monarch.
