Lieut.. Bell and his men were the
hosts to the officers and men OF the

hall. The bass was beautifully and
artistically draped The usual wall
covering OF pines plus the allied color
ed bunting made up the principal dec
orations. One of the features was the
clever manner in which the, kitchen
was camouflaged. A semi transpar-
ent cloth of sky-bIue co1oring was
hung over the opening where the fell
lows are in the habit of receiving their
chow. This blue background seen
from midway in the mess hall gave one
Che impression that they were looking
at the sky above The effect was
great! Whether it was the result Of
a direct attempt is the question, It
stands, however, that the effect was
very pleasing and everyone present
made a favorable comment npon it.
