BRILLIANT NEW YEAR'S
BALL AT BICYCLE CLUB
Climax of the Holiday Festivities Was the
Function Given Last Night Handsome
Gowns of the Beautiful Women
Who Graced the Occasion.
Kor a decade and more tho ono really
great event, hh far ns society Is con
cerned, lins been the regular New Year
function, the "Bachelors' Ball." When
somo time ngo It was announced that
the Bachelors' committee had decided
to abandon the ball for this season
great was the lamentation among the
large society contingent tht had looked
forward with so much Joyful anticipa
tion to the most brilliant occasion of
the year.
It has grown to be an unwritten law
that the favorite friends from other
cities are certain to be Invited to spend
New Year In Scranton If they nro here
at no other time. So fixed has been
this custom that the ball has become
famed for the presence of beautiful
girls whose rare personal charms have
brought them distinction whenever
they have appeared and not u little
quiet rivalry might have been observed
In securing these guests whose pres
ence was so desirable.
It has also been much In vogue for
the society leaders of Scranton to make
their entrance at this ball In the most
elaborate gowns of the season, ordered
especially for the occasion and notable
for their costly elegance.
Anticipations on the pai t of the danc
ing men have been no less eager for
they have been rather opt with one
accord to vote each succeeding ball as
"the time of their lives" and usually
each occasion has been held In memory
dear by both men and maidens for
some singularly pleasant Incident,
sweet to recall.
Treasured Programmes.
Many a happy marriage has resulted
from tho first meeting of two congenial
people at the Bachelors' and more than
one fair wife treasures fondly tho
dnncn programme of a certain date
whose New Year tecoid Is surrounded
by 11 blissful glow.
Thus It was that the feeling which
greeted tho announcement of the tem
porary abandonment of tbn ball waa
something like consternation. Where
was the use of asking the lovely girl
met last summer to spend the holidays
If there were to be no Bachelors'?
Where was the use to plan house par
ties or little dinners or Informal dances.
If there were to bo no Bachelors'"
as a central attraction?
Therefore when a commit tec of gen
tlemen made It known that they pro
posed to give a ball, which If not as
large as tho Bachelors, would be every
bit as elegant In detail and probably
Just as enjoyable to the clancets be
cause of a superior floor, gteat wa3 the
tide of cangratulatlons.
It Is due to the enterprise nnd inde
fatigable effort of Messrs. .lames Blair.
Jr., M. B. Fuller and W. .1. Torrey that
last night's dance at tho Bicy
cle club house was arranged to
bridge over the year made promi
nent by the lapse In the Bachel
ors' series of entertainments. With
commendable energy and taste they
surpassed all expectations resulting In
tho most splendid affair of the year
and Indeed the most brllllunt ever
given In the Bicycle club.
The pationesses, Mrs. K. L. Fuller,
Mrs. James Archbald, Mrs. W. W.
Scranton. Mrs. T. H. Watklns, Mrs.
C. II. Sturges, Mis. 1 J. Piatt, Mrs. II.
W, Kingsbury and Mrs. Paul B. Bella
received in the front reception room.
They were magnificently gowned, and
with the effective setting of the decor
ations made a picture long to be re
membered. Arrival of Guests.
Vhfn the guests arrived they were
met with a surprise In the decorations
of the ball room, which were entirely
original in design and effect. Imagine
the charming room with Its vast wall
space entirely hidden by the loveliest,
tenderest hue of pink bunting Inter
mingled with while, and falling In
long graceful folds with overlying fes
toons of the same. The windows were
Included In this new covering, and
the stngc draperies were likewise con
cealed. Tho general effect was Inde
scribably beautiful. It was a room
In which a debutante would choose
to make her llrst bow to society, for
If she were fair in the usual flower
decked parlors. In this dainty, light
hearted place, with Its Dresden-like
tints and lovely shadowy rose rellec
tlons, she could surely be a vision of
radiance, and such a vision was re
peated over and over again last night.
The stage had additional feutures of
attractiveness In this semi-transparent
screen of green vines which Inter
posed their delicate tracery between
the outer room nnd the orchestra.
Fronting this were masses of palms
and ferns, also arranged by Florist
Clark.
The staircase was similarly decor
ated, and the landing In the rear was
made Into a bower-like retreat ex
tremely pleasing to the eye.
The ball and reception rooms were
transformed by rich oriental druperles,
and several cosy corners arranged at
mantel sides and In various convenient
I
Arc much nicer than anything
uow sold as fresh. Most vegetables
in market come from the South and
are too old and stale for healthy
food.
We offer a line line of Corn,
Peas, Tomatoes, Stringless Beans
at 10c per can.
Fancy Maine Corn, 12c, $1.40
per dozen.
Baby Corn, 15c.
Dinner Party Beans 15c; value
25c.
E. G. Com sen
Rpots. Hete great divans and the Fast
Indian stuffs made Inviting resting
places.
The Supper Room.
The supper room on the second floor
wns probably the most frankly sur
prising in this transformation. Count
less Japanese lanterns gave the first
effect of oriental magnificence. After
these tho soft lights, the quantities of
rlch-hucd blossoms, the glenm of elab
orate table arrangements and many
other details of luxury made up a rare
picture, Clark was In charge of the
floral effects, and, as Is his custom,
made a great success.
The supper was In chnrge of Wil
liam Hanlcy, nnd wns daintily nnd
satisfactorily served at small tables In
both the regular supper hull nnd the
billiard room. It Included:
lloulllon. Dread SthU
Chicken Croquettes. Oister Pattle.
Ollvca
Ice Cream. C'aUca. Coffee.
The danco music wns furnished en
tirely by Bauer's orchestra, which gave
special music Just now In vogue In
New York.

TROLLEY SERVICE
MUCH IMPROVED
Things Are Moving Smoothly on
Lines of Scranton Hallway Co.
Protest Entered by the Ken.
Everything was moving smoothly In
tho street car service yesterday, and
all aprcheuslons of a renewal of the
strike have about dlsapcared.
The discharge of Dispatcher Charles
Powell and the retention of two of the
old car men who continued to work
during the strike were the cause nf
much murmuring among the members
ot the union but their executive com
mittee has advised that the union can
not take action in either case further
than to make petition to the company
to accede to tho mens' desires, and that
If the company does not see Ht to grant
the petition the union cannot Interfere
further.
In the Powell rase, it Is proposed by
the executive committee to frame n pe
tition for the discharged dispatcher's
telnstatement and circulate It for tho
signatures of all the car men and
various piominent citizens. This will
bo presented to General Manager Sllll
man with the earnest request of the
union that the prayer be grunted.
The executive committee yesterday
afternoon waited on Mr. Slllman with
ti protest from the union men against
being compelled to work with the two
car men who refused to Join the union
and continued to work during the
strike.
Mr. Slllman told them flatly tho pro
test would have to be Ignored. The
two men In question had stuck by the
company when it most needed them
and at a great personal sacrifice 'to
themselves and the company now un
der no circumstances would nllow It
self to bo persuaded to desert them.
The executive committee waa Im
pressed w 1th the reasonableness of Mr.
SlUlman's position and agreed that It
would advise the members ot the union
accordingly.
Promises came from both sides that
any animosities engendered by the
strike would be obliterated and that no
man would be discriminated against
because of any connection he had with
the strike, no matter how prominent
or active his parttcpatlon.
