Yunaukan , Scranton) The work of laying the dancing lloor for the Bachelors' ball at tho armory, on December ,11, wns begun yesterday, and from now on tho nctlvo prepar ations for this, the biggest social event of the year, will bo proceeded with un interruptedly. It Is proposed to follow 'the general plan of last year In the arrangements at the armory. The front half of the armory, only, will be utilized. Th big drill room will bo partitioned off by a great curtain of pink and white, the colors that will predominate in tho dec orations, and similar curtains will cover tho front wall and tho intervening sides. The general effect will bo that of an Interior of a largo pink and white tent. Boxes will bo erected all about the danclner floor. Most of these bavo al ready been sold, but a Tew choice ones still remain. Tho ball promises to equal, If not sur pass, the most successful the bachel ors over held. Tho attendance of out-of-town guest3 bids fair to bo larger than ever. - Each year tho event be comes more widely known and Its pa trons from n distance increases corre spondingly, A special feature of this year's ball will be tho music. It will be furnished by Bauer's band, augmented to fifty pieces by musicians from Wllkes-Barre, Blnghamton, Pottsville nnd New York. Tho selections will be for the most part new. Twenty-four regular and six extra numbers will comprise the dance programme. The old plan of two bands of musicians and intermission dances was found to be unsatisfactory, fn that there were too many dunces and too much music. Thirty numbers, it is thought, will provide an ample suffici ency of both. The supper will be served by John Holland, of Philadelphia, who has won such an enviable reputation in this city for the excellency of his menus and service. Special pains will be taken to have the building thoroughly warmed and lighted. Last year, because the steam was not turned on In time, the building was not as warm as it should, be. This year H is assured there will not be a recurrence of this accident. There was some criticism last year of the illumin ations. This year tho lights will be doubled in number. The patronesses of the ball are Mrs. .Tames Arohbald, Mrs. Henry Belln, Jr., Mrs. Paul B. Eelln, Mrs. George G. Brooks, Mrs. J. Benjamin Dlmmick, Mrs. Thomas H. Watklns, Mrs. Edward L. Fuller, Mrs. Frederick J. Piatt, Mrs. Arthur H. Storrs, Mrs. William "W. Scranton, Mrs. Everett "Warren. A. G.

Larger Quarters Necessary to Accommodate- Increasing Business. The business of Hayes & Varley has practically outgrown their present stores at 421 and 426 Spruce street, nnd plans have been completed to move to tho store now occupied by deorgo V. Millar & Co.
