Philadclphlans wne, from desire or

probably noticed the last weary, limp
Ittg remnant of the. mule portion of the
revellers seeking their quilted nests for

strike which has been functioning here
for several weeks, added splep te the

pnld se much for the privilege of n taxi
that they were compelled, for pecuniary
reasons, te walk home themselves later
in the morning.
But everybody agreed, despite all the
drawbacks, that this ear's junior ball
was one of the greatest held in years.
The 700 or mere dancers began danc
ing at 10 in the evening with two
orchestras, Heward Lanln'w local or
ganization nnd the Kentucky Serenaders,
from New Yerk, furnishing the music.
Every new and then they would turn
out the brilliant; lights nnd have a
regular "moonlight waltz" with an in
termittent searchlight 'playing the role
of Mr. Moen. They waltzed and fox fex fox
teotted nnd one-stepped, and they may
have performed the new "Radner,"
though It was uet officially announced
en the program. And they whisper
this shimmied, tee, a bit, for accord

necessitates a variety of this popular
dance, if jeu knew what that means.
All the girls besides being consid
