germans to be given by the Cotillion club was given in Christensens hall last evening even-ing It was a beautiful affair and went off with dash The hall was very prettily pret-tily decorated with large palms artistically ar-tistically arranged about the room Both corners at the north end of the hall were hidden behind a wall of palms and pretty screens At each corner of the musicians stand a canopy can-opy had been erected and chairs and divans arranged about for the use of those who did not wish to take part in the dancing The two tables holding the favors were placed on the stand under the canopies and were presided over by two ladies who handed out the favors The favors consisted of fans rosettes butterflies and numerous other pretty little trinkets The first part of the evening was devoted to round dances and after half an hour of that the figures fig-ures were sone through with Mr Hugh Kimball with Miss Florence Kessler and Mr Harry Roberts with Miss Josie Katz led the figures arid in a manner that showed their familiarity famil-iarity with them The first figure was started with a grand march which was indeed a pretty sight There were over 20 couples in line and as they wound in and out through the different phases of the march the bright colors of the ladies gowns alternating with the gen tlemens evening suits the pretty faces and the charming music were conditions that could not but result in beauty At the close of the march the column was divided and they took their seats for the cotillion The first figure was that old but always al-ways pppular one the basket Then came London bridge which was danced without a flaw This was followed by a favor figure and the ladies and gentlemen participating partici-pating were soon bedecked with rosettes ros-ettes and butterflies The next figure was one that provoked a great deal of mirth Paper sacks were given to al the gentlemen present and the ladies were taken into the reception room On each of the sacks was printed in large letters the name of some hotel These sacks were pulled down over the heads of the gentlemen and each cried aloud the merits of his particular hotel The ladies were then requested to select a partner which was done but with a great many laughable mistakes for the confused ladies had no means of identifying identi-fying any of the masked lot that faced them At the close of the cotillion a short programme of dances were arranged and occupied the time until near midnight mid-night when the merry throng dispersed dis-persed to the sweet strains of Horns Sweet Home
