Y. M. H.. A. NOVELTY DANCE
SUCCESS LAST NIGHT

The Japanese formal novelty
dance given under the auspices of
Young Women's Hebrew Associa-
ton last night in the auditorium of
the Y. M. H. A. will long be re-
membered by the 125 couples who
attended. for its brllliance and de-
lightful formality. This event, as
anticipated, surpassed any event
ever held in the Y. NJ. II. A.. besides
netting a large sum towards the
building fund of the Young Mems
Association.
The decorations were indescriba-
bly, pretty, transforming the hall
from a mere basketball court to a
Japanese Fairlyland of lanterns,
music and flowers. Japanese rugs
concealed the bare walls on all
sides, curtains of purple and orange
a decidedly effective color scheme,
shaded the windows, while a lattice
work of cherry blossoms deceived
even the most discriminating as
to the nature of the balcony at
one end of the hall. The ceiling
could scarcely hold all of the pretty
hangings which extended in Japa-
nese effect over the entire room.

standing lamps, cozy furniture,
palms and flowers attractively ar

intended. However, this could not
have been accomplished without
the Japanese curios, tables, vases,
burning incense, and those details
which seem so little but are h
completing trick of the effect in

Len Eick's Castle House Orches-
ira, playing underneath a canopy OF
purple and orange in a bower of
palms and Japanese flowers, met
with all the expectations even of the
critical committee in charge. The
dance programs. so novel and de-
serving of mention, were also in
japanese style and the balloon
dance, surprise dance, the souvenir
dance in which each lady received a
japanese slipper, and finally the
grand march, led by Miss Rose
Sacarny, the president. Miss Jennie
Wedeen, chairman of the entire
event, and the all met
with the approval of every guest
assembled. Fruit punch was served
throughout the entire evening of
dances while the orchestra enter
tanned at various intervals with
dance and song. The gowns mingled
prettily meath the shaded lights
while the strains of music floated in
appealing note over the entire build
