a thing of the past about 2 o’clock this
morning. in stating that ii outshone
all its predecessors seems almost, on
aggeration. since Company 1) boys
seem each year to have reached the
pinnacle of their ability as entertain-
srs. yet it was the unanimous and
frank avowai of everyone that last
night's event eclipsed all previous re-
ceptions in brilliancy and splendor.
The armory hall with its sides lined
with Christmas trees. out of which
pooped scores of incandescent lights.
two beautifully draped mammoth flags
surmountlng even the tall trees at the
further end of the ball, the bower for
the musicians in‘ the center of the
hall forming a setting for a superb
Christmas tree. a veritable king of
the forest. that sparkled with vari
colored lights. ravishing music and a
floor that glimmercd and sclntlllated
as it imaged the beaming faces and
elaborate costumes of_ the dormers——
all this proved a feast for eye and
ear to those who had the good for1
tune to be present, last evening. at
the most brilliant social event of the
the
' year.

charge headed by Howard Mossman
and Many Weston were actually sur-
prised themselves when they beheld

Their efforts were well repaid by the
words of praise that reached their
cars from all sides.

nating. Wheeler & Wilson‘s full cou-
cert orchestra. from their bower in the
center of the ball, offered an encore
for every dance and after many num-
bers two or more. The dancers found
the music so enticing. however, that
they were loath to leave the ball at
2 o'clock.
At intermission DeKIyn assisted by
a corps of waiters served refresh-
meats. Evoryone was attended to
with coolness and dispatch. and there
was no crowding.
During the entire evening a throng
0! ladies and gentlemcn watched the
lively scene from the gallery. it was
a real pleasure to see some of the
parents of the merry dancers descend
to' the floor and, join in the merry
making. The pleasure of everyone
was visible in smiling faces and lively
conversation.
. The costumes of the ladies were.
many of them. elaborate. and a num-
ber of exceedingly dainty and chic
creations in pink, red and black were
noticed.
