SHRINE BALL ONE
 OF BEST GIVEN IN a
 YEARS BY ORDER


 A beautiful enjoyable function sparkiing with wholesome gayiCty and merriment was the annual grand ball of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, New Years Eve, in A. D. Hall. The large assemblage of the Southeastern Alaska Shrine Clubs guests, one hundred and ten , couples when the gathering was at its peak, revelled in the grandeur of the scene and joyously danced to the enchanting music of the seven piece orchestra under the direction of Mrs. C. J. Woofter The excep- tionally good music, pronounced by every one present the best ever pro- duced at local social function, comprised violin, piano, trombone, clarionet, cornet, saxaphone and drums, being played by Mrs. Woofter, Mfrs Hahn, Messrs. Erickson, ,~Rich- ard Harris, Sorri, Stevens and John Harris, respectively. Many new dance selections were played, two and three encores being demanded 2fter each number.
 The large auditorium presented a lovely appearance with fancy colored bunting, greens, weird Shrine en- blems and gaycolored lights. The entire background of one end of the hall was attractive with broad gold, green and rcd Stripes, in the center of which hung the large Shrine Scimeter sparkling in colored lights, and artistcally displayed around this I'fascinating center were holly, ferns and other greens with large potted plants and trees flanking the picture, the whole setting being surrounded by wonderful border produced with the use of two immense American flags, across the top of which, in large green letters arranged in semi circular form, appeared the timely welcome, Happy New Year" The balconies, walls and ceiling were fes- tooned with pennants, colored drapes, emblems of Shrinedom and countless sprigs of holly and greens through all of which softly gleamed rays from countless colored electric bulbs. The whole scheme of decora- tion was beautiful and fascinating, up to the usual high standard always maintained by the Mystic Shriners at their social functions.
 The handsome gowns of the ladies were indescribaly beautiful and the conventional dress of the Nobles and their guests, with a goodly number of the little red fezes fiittering here and there, all combined to produce a most lovely and striking scene one long to be remembered.
 The Shriners now announce that on next New Years Eve they will stage their customary Annual Grand Ball in Juneau, all the details of which will be arranged in due course, as were the plans and ar engagements for the successful event of 1921
 The Southeastern Alaska Shrine Club, composed of NObles of the An oient, Arabic Order of the Mysti c Shrine of North America, wishes all of its friends and patrons of the Shrine dances, a happy and pros- porous New Year.
