1t was their annual ball, and the first
one they have held in their new home.
The hall was beautifully decorated
in purple and white Purple and
white streamers formed big central
canopy Huge letters, b. Z. .. H..
were arranged in front fthe orches-
ira and were illuminated alternately
during the evening. The "star of II
delity" and the elk head were also
attraetively Illuminated.
At II o'clock bedlam broke loose,
and snowballs, streamers, caps and
confetti flew. Then leap year pre-
vailed - the ladies taking charge OF
the dances.
