Decorations, favor and Tig-ares In Keeping- with the Season and Prog-ram One of Novelty. ELDOM has an even- ing provided more genuine pleasure than the Xmas Cotillion at The Inn, enjoyed by the en tire Village and a pleas ant prophecy for the more formal social events which it inaugurates and which add brilliancy to the winter. Decorations, figures and favors all em phasized the spirit of the Holiday season and merrymaking ran riot among the dancers which a big crowd of onlookers followed with an interest which made them mental participants. Exquisite in its decorations was the music hall, its special feature two twin Christmas trees resting on either side of the stage, hung with small crimson bells, strung with tinsel and flanked with bright-berried holly. Entwining wires running from the centre of the hall to all sides, were streamers of Eng lish ivy, with large crimson bells at four corners ; a monster cluster of mistletoe in the centre. Above the entrance and alcoves were streamers of ivy and on the wall panels large crimson cardboard bells, which were also used with red and white ribbons, for chair markers. The favor tables were in white, struDg with holly; the finishing touch of all, four huge stockings (two red and two white) which hung from the fireplace mantel. The program began at nine with a grand march led by Mr. II. S. Haskell of New York and Miss Theodate Clough of Lynn, a program of novelty and sur prise following, marches also being led by Mr. Julian T. Bishop of Bridgeport and Miss Ethel Check of New York, and Mr. J. S. Walker of Orange, Va, and Miss Maude Hapgood of Boston. The novelties in figures included a burlesque ballet in which young men garbed in tarlatan skirts worn over their evening suits, won or lost partners by their ability to dance ; the Cinderella number in which young women were claimed for partners with slippers selected from a basket and young men by personal ar ticles drawn from a hat ; the matching of all nation flags, and jig-saw puzzle pictures made from colored postals. The familiar potato race was also en joyed by both men and women, the pos session of a colored ball meant a dance, and the men struggled vainly with bon nets and sashes which they were required to tie in bowknots, always the conscious ness that delay meant another "left over" man for a partner c.iusing disastrous haste; several "Paul Jones" and "puss in the corner" figures adding variety. The favors were mistletoe and holly sprays, Christmas toys, all nation flags, tissue plumes, boxe3 of confectionery, Pall Mall cigarettes, and novelties.
