tivities, which bepan at 9 o'clock. The
ballroom lights were shaded in red.
and cast a pretty glow, which added
to the mystery of the masked throngs
of dancers. The Christmas decorations
at the club are exceptionally attrac
tive. At one end of the .room is a tall
Christmas fee, brilliantly lighted. A
large red bell is suspended from the
ceiling in the center of the room, and
from i his garlands of cedar, twined
with rod ribbons and interspersed with
holly extend to the corners of the
room. Red bells also hang at either
end of the room, and at intervals down
the sides. The pillars wrapped in
ropes -f cedar in which red ribbon is
twisted. Over the mantel is the mes
sage, "A Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year," in electric lights.
Inspiring dance music was furnish

lumbia, S. C.
Costumes of every kind were seen
on the floor, many beautiful, others
"fearfully and wonderfully made." Ev
eryone was masked, and speculation
as to the Identity of the merrymakers
was keen.

tume, carrying1 a large tray of flowers
under one arm, and Mr. Jones was a
