PRICE FIVE CENTS
MAZE OF DAZZLING COLOR
Carolina Cotillon Adds Bright Star
to Social Constellation.
Merriment Iteigrn Supreme and
Novel Surprises Provide Eve
ning; of Rare Enjojuient.
E ALT II of unique and
attractive favors made
the Washington's birth
day cotillon at The
Carolina a maze of daz
zling color wonderful to
behold, adding another bright star to the
constellation which has made the present
social season brilliant. From first to last
merriment reigned supreme, and novel
surprises followed one after another,
providing an evening of rare enjoyment
for a company of onlookers which taxed
the music hall to its capacity. Of beau
tiful gown3 there were many, and the
recollection of the affair is as a child's
dream of fairyland.
The use of favors began with the Paul
Jones or opening number, in which large
American flags were distributed to all of
the dancers as they circled. Next in
order came one of the evening's most
amusing features, in which trumpets
with gay streamers were distributed
among the men, and animal rattles with
bright bows given to the women, a burst
of melody (?) resulting, which would
have made a German band green with
envy.
Next came a frolic in the shape of an
egg and spoon race, in which the men
fought desperately for partners and
"eggs," the manner in which the latter
were whisked about the hall making
everybody thankful that they were "hard
boiledM (tennis ball) and not of the kind
that one gets at the Poultry farm.
Next came one of the daintiest effects
of the evening, a favor figure in which
rakish crush opera hats and dainty vari
colored parasols were exchanged, the ef
fect flavoring most decidedly of the
Mardi-gras and its recklessness and
gaiety. Clusters and boutonnieres of
bright colored poppies were then ex
changed, adding another dash of color to
the scene, after which came the whirl
wind chariot race which made such a hit
at the last German.
The picturesque feature of the evening
followed, the couples dancing beneath
graceful floral garlands, the effect cul
minating in an intricate march. Next in
line was an exchange of admiral chapeaus
of red, white and blue and diadem
bow knots of soft tints, and once more
the Mardi-gras was suggested.
After a distribution of sealed envelopes,
only one of which drew .1 prize, and an
exchange of butterfly lapel pins and coif
fure ornaments, radiant in their bril
liancy, came the climax of the evening.
The dancers were called to the centre of
the hall and assembled beneath a huge
and mysterious ball from which dangled
numerous strings, one of which each
dancer grasped. Then came a moment
of suspense and speculation, a pull, a
shower of color, a roar of laughter, and
all found themselves in the possession of
a ball of confetti or a roll of serpentine
tape. Just a moment for recovery from
surprise and then a wild, mad melee be
gan in which everybody pelted everybody
else mercilessly; even the "non-combatants'"
getting their share. Then the
quick two-step changed to the slow
"Home, Sweet Home" waltz, growing
