Ome of the last of the pretentious danee events of the pre-Lenten season was the Rose ball given at the state armory Friday evening under the aus- pices of C Company, State Guard, and the ‘Danielson Girls' club. ‘The care that was lavished ®n the pre- ‘parations for the event, which brought’ out a large attendance representative of all the places in this vicinity, was evi- denced by the beauty of the decorations of the big ‘drill shed. Pink and green was the color scheme. The balconies were banked with laurel in which hundreds of roses were set. Streamers t@at hung down from the lights had roses attached; 'roses filled pretty baskets that were hung abeut In convenient plades; roges were entwined in the arch under which the dancers passed at the opening of the dall and roses distributed to all by dainti- ly attired flower girls. ‘Tha dancers were delighted with the vrettiness of the entice conception of the decorative arrangement. Music was by Humphry's orchestra of Norwich. Miss Ruth S. Smith, who is ill and was unable to be present at the ball was head of the general committee rep- resenting the Girls' club in the arrange- ments and Norman Reevesswas head of the committee representing the company. Miss Gwendolyn Keegan was head of th committee that represented the Girl club in carrying out the decorative plan.
