HALL PRETTILY DECORATED
Hundreds of Christmas Trees Make UP
Effective Trimming of Hall When
Hundred and More Gather to
Dance to Hand s Music.

The second Of the assembly balls
given last night in Guild Hall was
even more Of an event than its prede-
cessor in November, and it is promised
that the third of the series, set for
February IA, will eclipse both Of the
previous ones.
!, Many from Racine attended last
night, and among all who were there,
none looked prettier than Miss Katha-
rine Lewis who is just back from four
months in New York with her parents,
Captain and Mrs. Mitchell Lewis, who
took furnished apartment in the
metropolis for the autumn and early
winter and entertained there extensive
ly. Miss Lewis was gowned in anne
thyst satin with much floating tulle
about the corsage and carried a large
white ostrich feather fan, one of the
novelties which the bellies of today are
searching the treasure troves of their
mothers to resurrect, provided they are
fortunate enough to possess mothess
who INDUCED in ostrich fans a quarter
of a century or so ago when they were
quite as much in vogue as they are
today. Miss Lewis is a particularly
graceful young person and the deep
amethyst tones of her gown were ex-
tremely becoming, making the black of
her glossy hair still blacker and deep
ening the brown of her dark eyes.

One of the most beautiful gowns
worn was the charming blue pann6
velvet creation of Mrs. McCready of
Pittsburg who is the holiday guest of
her sister, Mrs. Harry B. Robinson in
Prairie avenue. Mrs. Robinson was
also attractively gowned in a fluffy
blue and looked scarcely day older
than her daughters, home for the holt
days from Kemper Hall where they
are boarding pupils. Miss Elizabeth
Robinson was in most fetching cos
tune Of lemon with Marie Antoinette
scarf of black, giving a decidedly
Frenchy note to her toilette Her
younger sister, Miss Jeanette, was in
girlish frock of blue with white tulle
fuffed about the corsage.
Milwaukeean is Striking.
1t is safe to say that no costume
worn touched a more individualistic
note than did that of Miss Leoline
q Braun of Milwaukee, the guest of Mrs.
Fred Stemm. Miss Braun was in white
with a blood red girdle of panne velvet
encircling the waist and terminating
in straight and narrow train, lined
with cloth of silver and which, while
she danced, was held up by ring worn
on her right hand, giving the effect of
half cape draped about her dancing
partner. Mrs. Stemm was in all black
Mrs. Peter Fisher was entrancingly
lovely in a delicate green gown and
danced beautifully.
Black Enhances Fairness.
Another young woman who was most
graceful in her dancing was Miss Irene
Eichelmann, who, by the way, appears
often in black, the most effective and
becoming color she could wear to en-
nance the fairness of her skin and the
soft fiaxen of her hair. Last night she
danced often with Zenas Pitcher and
their concerted movements were a de-
light
Another pretty dancer was Miss
Patty Davis of Chicago, the guest of
Mrs. A. E. Buckmaster, who unfortu-
nately was not able to be present at
the ball. Miss Davis was in pink with
fluffy headdress of pink tuIle, caught
with silver band. She wore silver
slippers and white hose with the gown
Mrs. Dorr was in Black.
Miss Donna Kennedy of Waukegan
wore an attractive gown of cloudy
white tulle over pirk with pink artif-
cial flower trimmings.
Mrs. E. Fl. Amory was in green tulle
with white bands.
Mrs. Roy K. Dorr was quite stunning
in an all black costume, relieved bv a
girdie Of passamenterie with red tones
and corsage bouquet of red.
Mrs. A. J. Palica wore a gown of
blue with pearl trimmings
Mrs, Charles Pope was in baby
blue messaline
Mrs. George w. Taylor wore all
white with white aigrette in her hair.
Miss Helen Barden was in an en-
erald green over white with white Dir
die.
