Considerable fun and contusion was caused by the arrangement which had been planned in getting tne couples to the place. The girls were masked and a sheet thrown over them to dis guise them from their escorts, and they had also previously exchanged places with soire other girl, so that tlie escort really did not know who he was with until he reached Mrs Miller's. This plan was the occasion of much coDiuslon and amusement. The rooms were all- decorated with red, whlta and green, the color scheme for the occasion, and the costumes of the girls were white with red hearts all over them. Suspended from the large ball ceiling was a string of crimson hearts with a girl's name on it. ; One of these was taken by a boy and the name written on it was the young lady for him to take in to sup per. , me plan oi decoration was carried out in the dining room, with potted plants and evergreens added, aoon alter assemoung, ine intellec tual nart of the program was begun. which consisted of recitationsiand&olos of vocal music with instrumental music also.
