Inaugurating the pre-hohday festivi-
ties with a sparkling splendour of
Christmas decoration, the members of
the Monday Night Daneng club held
their second dance of the season, Mon
day evening at the Moose hall, which
was transformed into a typical Christ
mas day scene, such as abounds in
home upon home during the holiday
week. Even the glittering Christmas
trees. which illumined each corner of
the hall were true to traditional type
of Yuletide tree in all their bright ar
ray of twinklng trimming and spangl-
ed ornament. Crimson paper bells sus-.
pended from flusters of mistletoe deft-
y arranged over each of the side
lights along the walls contributed an
especially festive note to the deeora-
tions. Red and green festocns of crepe
paper and tinsel were looped between
the chandeliers, bunehes of mistletoe
being effectively hung from each globe.
An immense flag draped across one
end of the room provided the patriotic
touch, so essential feature in all elab-
crate decorative schemes these days.
The strains Of the orchestra drifted out
to the dancers from an improvised
thicket of evergreens in far corner
of the floor.
A notably pretty supper party fol-
lowing the dance, was that presided
over by Mrs. Roy H. Mills at her home,
1884 Court street, when eongenial CO.
terie of friends was bidden by the host
ess to join in an hour or two of subse-
quent gayety. The guests eircled two
exquisitely appointed tables. Charming
adornment was afforded in the blue
bird motif supplemented by lovely
arrangement of pink roses, which pre-
vailed in the dainty decorations of one
table, brilliant color note Of scarlet
offsetting the other table, which was
decked with the red-berried pepper
plants.
