The May ball in the Armory last We'd
nesday evening under the direction of
Mrs. Cecil Clay was one of the most at
tractive social functions seen here in re-
cent years. Mrs. Clay not only designed
the decorations in color scheme of pink
and green but did the work. The hall
presented an immense garden scene with
the use of swinging hammocks, cushions
galore, screens and easy chairs. A can
opy was formed from the center chande-
lier to the ceiling with numerous inter-
laced strings of Japanese lanterns which
terminated under the chandelier with
garden floral basket. Immense butter
flies were spaced around the balcony rail-
ing. Lanterns shaded the globes around
the hall and two floor lamps with pink
shades gave soft tint to the lights
Tall branches of Japanese cherries alter
mating with long sprays of pink roses
ornamented the lockers around the hall
The floral effect on the stage was unus-
ually good. White bunting covered the
railing, relieved with loops of climbing
pink roses, garden clematis and rock
ferns. In the center front was hand
some standing rustic basket about five
feet long filled with pink roses, etc. On
either side to the ends of the stage were
massed potted plants, ferns and floral
baskets. The many handsome gowns of
the dancers also added to the brightness
of the s-ene. McKeen's orchestra fur
nished music for the fourteen dances, in
cluding six waltzes. Mr.. and Mrs. Ros-
