LABOEATELY carried
out in every detail, re
plete with attractive
favors and novel figures,
Friday evening's cotillion
at The Carolina, proved
not only one of the most brilliant of the
season's more formal affairs, but one of
the merriest as well, tne occasion en
joyed by the entire colony. Details of
arrangement were in the hands of an
active committee and to which great
credit is due, including Mrs. C. T. Parks
and Mrs. M. D. Paterson of New York,
Mrs. Alexander McGregor of Boston,
Miss Brooks of Manchester, N. II., Miss
Thayer of Milwaukee, Miss Brown of
Boston,Miss Ilorton of VVilliamsport,Mr.
William T. West, Jr.,of Camden and Mr.
Converse Wurdeman of Milwaukee;
Mrs. J. It. Mix and the Misses Presbrey
of New York, Mrs. A. M. Banker of
Gloversviile, and Miss Lucy Priest of
Newcastle, N. II., at the favor tables.
The opening march led by Mr. Wurde
man and Miss Brooks, in which the gaily
colored floral garlands carried were used
effectively, was a brilliant opening to the
evening, the idea further carried out in
the march led by Mr. Presbrey and Miss
McKinneyin which the women carried
Japanese parasols and the men, gaily
decorated gold headed canes,
The novelties in figures included the
"Dan Cupid" in which both men and
women shot for partners with bows and
arrows bearing bright colored ribbons,the
possession of an arrow meaning a dance
for an over supply of "targets." The same
idea was carried out, in a different way,
in the "Days of Youth" number where a
potato, a bun, an apple or a pear meant
a partner, and the scrambles resulting
were most amusing. Another jolly frolic
was "My Busy Day" in which men and
women were required to race down the
hall, stand an empty ginger ale bottle
on its "impossible" end and return to the
belles and beaux in waiting before they
could claim a dance.
The chariot race in" which four men
and four women .were driven abreast,
twice around the hall, by both men and
women, was thrilling enough to meet
the requirements of the most exacting
"steeds" and "charioteers" dancing to
gether. The familiar curtain figure was
introduced in a form appropriate to the
occasion (April Fool's Day) partners be
ing selected Dy caraooard bricks at
tached to red ribbons, thrown across a
curtain. Partners were also assigned
through "Blind Man's Buff," "Puss in the
Corner" and "Paul Jones'" circles.
The braiding of the Maypole was one of
the prettiest numbers of the evening and
another carrying a fan, a second a cane,
and the third a parasol; the attendants
being privileged to "butt in" at a signal,
and force the more fortunate swain to
join the ranks of the "would bes".
The favors included Japanese fans,
chrysanthemums, floral bonnets, para
sols, animal rattles and silk flags for
the women, and decorations (orders),
clown caps, floral canes, automobile
horns and mask blow-outs for the men.

the collection of handkerchiefs from both
men and women and their later identifi
cation in the, selection of partners, was
most amusing, particularly in view of
the fact that "all handkerchiefs looked
alike" to many.
The "Merry Widow" figure and the
faithfulness with which the men danced
attendance, demonstrated that coquettes
are still popular, each girl selecting four
partners, with one of whom she danced,
Not the least enjoyable features of the
evening were the confetti and serpentine
melees which concluded the first and
last halves. Dancing began at nine
and ceased at twelve-thirty, a collation
being served at intermission and The
Carolina orchestra furnishing music.
, The list of participants included Mr.
Converse Wurdeman of Milwaukee and
Miss Ethel Brooks of Manchester; Mr.
