DANCE A GREAT SUCCESS

Junior Union Dance Well Attended.--Decorations of Boxes Effective.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The annual dance given in the Union last night by the Junior members was well attended and proved a brilliant success. Dancing began at 9 o'clock, after a half-hour's overture by the orchestra, and continued until four. There were twenty dances on the cards, supplemented by several extras. Supper was served in the Dining Room after the thirteenth dance.

The decorations were slightly more extensive than in previous years and were carried out in excellent taste. Following the advice of the architect of the Union no additional ornaments were placed in the Living Room, other than a few small palms and a large 1909 banner under a Harvard one. The receiving party stood in the south-west corner of the room. The 21 boxes were distributed through the rooms on the first floor. A soft red light from tinted globes was suffused through the lobby, which was draped with laurel festoons. On the east and west ends a brighter light came in from the Dining Room and Periodical Room, both of which were illuminated with strings of Japanese lanterns. An attractive feature of the Game and Writing Rooms was the festooning of yachting flags. Red globes and candelabra with a profusion of palms and plants carried out the general color scheme of red and green, while pictures, banners, cushions, lamps, and flowers in and about the boxes were delightfully effective.

Everywhere was to be seen evidence of the activity and good taste of the committee in charge and the efforts of the Union employees. The dance was organized and conducted by the following committee: W. G. Wendell, chairman, F. A. Harding, secretary, W. M. Rand, treasurer, F. H. Burr, E. T. Dana, J. D. Leland, P. Little, R. M. Middlemass, R. L. Niles, N. S. Simpkins, Jr.
