The softly lighted ballroo
porticos and balconies formed
a charming setting for the
elaborate costumes. Those who
did not wear fancy dress wore
brilliant evening clothes. Gayety
reigned during the entire evening
Although "a Night in Spain" was
the name of the dance, the costumes
we're not at all limited to the Span
ish. In fact, every figure associated
in ones mind with a fancy dress
ball, attended. Confetti and SER
pentine were used lavishly. Spe-
cialty dance numbers we're given by
Louise Purcell Powell and Allen T.
Carey.
